Hello Everyone,
I’m currently working as a Finance Analyst doing valuations at big bulge bank in NYC. I just started working full time approx 9 months ago and was a full time intern for a year before that doing Product Control. I’m trying to break into the Big4 preferably in their Advisory practice but would be willing to do Auditing as well. With just 9 months of full time experience, I’m looking at Associate positions. I see some on KPMG’s career website, applied to ~10 positions, got rejected from all of them except for 1, went through phone interview and havent heard back from the HR, have followed up once and no answer. For the other 3 Accounting firms, there aren’t any Associate level positions since I assume, they recruit students straight from college.
Does anyone have any advice on how I can break into the Big4? Any friends that were in my position and got in? What was their strategy?
Background: I graduated with a BBA approx a year ago with a Finance degree (GPA 3.5) and took online Accounting classes to meet the 150 education requirements. Have just passed BEC and will be taking the others soon. I did do an Assurance internship with KPMG during my junior year but rejected them for the JPMC offer.
