Hello!
Thank you for getting to this point! I’m in somewhat of a stew. I’ve talked to a professional about this matter, however I believe there’s much better advice on here. I promise I will not babble on and on and on.
I graduated in June 2011 with a degree in accounting from a top 50 university. My GPA is 3.24 with 2 C+s in accounting due to extended absence from classes (legit).
After college, I worked for four months in the back office of a large corp. I left and took a job with a small CPA firm doing public accounting. (It was as boring as …) I recently left the previous job mentioned, and moved to a big city because well…
Right now I am unemployed. It’s great for now because I’m studying for auditing, which is my last one, and applying to grad school to a masters in accountancy program (I need the masters… 150 credit req MANDATORY).
The dilemma is what should I be doing now till the end of August. My goal is to work for the Big 4. I am hoping high grades in grad school will help!?!? O
Disregarding that I quit without having a job lined up prior to moving, what should be my next move to advance my career? Internship? Regular Job? Seasonal Tax Job? Something else?
Please keep in mind I prefer** not to lie when asked in an interview how I plan on earning the extra credits needed for the CPA designation. However what’s your opinion, should I lie to employers during an interview about going to grad school, and just quit before school starts if I get the job.
WOWZA...you made it to the end. Again, Im going back to school for a masters next year and I just left my public accounting job, so, what should I do? I need to keep my resume flowing. Thanks for your help :)
