"Not interested in it, I have the IB offers but more interested in trying out the accounting world which in my book has more promise, better training, and more career advancement. (the prestige of working for a big four will never hurt you) and the money is only unmatched on the sales and trading side of finance, and who want do that? "
I'm not sure you've done your research thoroughly. I would think carefully about pursuing big 4 opportunities if you have ibank offers. auditing is not a bad field, but you're not even remotely right about the money aspect.
entry level ibankers and auditors have comparable salaries. Compare an ibanker with 3 to 10 years of experience however to an auditor with 3 to 10 years and you are talking about different planets.
do your career research, and don't fall for company hype!

Maybe an accountant at a big4 would have much better hours than an IB ?
Don't you get what you pay for, being an IB does generate much more $$ but what about the lifestyle...
