In Reply To: David! How can I break into Big five/six? I have just passed CPA exam, all four parts. I also work on CMA exam. Currently work as an Accounting Manager, private industry. Big six even don't want to invite me to the interivew.:( Any advice? Regarding your request - you'll need MBA from a really good school to be on a good track in finance industry, CPA is not enough...:( Thnx!
Message: SInce I left the BIg 4 recently, now in banking. I would go to the headhunters honestly. Or go to a smaller public firm for a year or two, the nbreak in. Public Accounting is also in flux. Lot of reforms coming down the road, lots of changes going to be made, they dont want to hire anyone unless they fit a mold they need for awhile, in order to whether the storm. The economy also is horrible.
