I am now finishing up my Masters in Accounting in Florida and I have received an invite for an office visit to the PWC NYC office.. I have a 3.4 GPA for my masters... and I will be CPA Eligible in Florida before I would begin work in NYC... I chose to buzz straight through my masters instead of going on an internship with the Big 4 since you need it in Florida to take the CPA exam... My Question is:
Do interns get higher offers after their internship than a full time entry level recruit like myself would get? So will it hurt my offer since I didn't go on an internship?
Also, in New York you need years of experience and most new hires don't have a masters yet, will my M.Acc. give me an advantage? Is this at all considered when making an offer?
I also have a year and half experience with a small local CPA firm while finishing my degree. Does this have any influence?
Thanks for any advice, I am extremely excited for my visit and I look forward to any responses.

I don't think interns get paid more than other new hires, though if you have a masters you should get a few more bucks than someone who doesn't.
As far as an advantage from having a masters, thats unclear. At least initially you will be doing the same work as someone who doesn't have a masters. How quickly you progress is up to you and the opportunities you are given and earn.
Local CPA firm experience may or may not matter, depends on what you did there.
