In Reply To: I graduating next June and I'm starting to look for a job now. I was wondering if the Big 5's are still hiring like crazy?
Message: Depends on what school you are graduating from. If we're talking a well-respected public or private institution with a great regional reputation and tons of alumni at your target firm, you've hit the jackpot. Wouldn't want to be coming out of a third-tier this June. We are actually not visiting a number of schools we went to last year. In some cases, we're taking resumes in house. But that's only for #1 or 2 grads. Again, to reiterate: Large school/exclusive private w/ good rep+decent class rank=B5 employment not an issue. Anything less, and you're working the phones. Good luck. P.S.-If you're thinking of slacking off senior year, don't. We are making certain offers contingent on grades in remaining accounting classes.
