In Reply To: I read recently in The New York Times that more and more accounting students are looking for careers in I-Banking rather than heading towards careers as CPAs. Maybe the money is better on Wall Street, but it seems to me that accountants have a much, much better lifestyle, and the money really isn't that bad, especially at the Big Five. Any comments?
Message: Are you a CPA? Well, you can check out the salary guides on the net for I Banking. They seem waaaay to higher than what we have in accounting even with a license CPA. Plus to go I Banking you must be ... MBA (at least) to hit associate level. What's your industry?
