Let me just throw out some FYI and TMI, and maybe someone will have some advice.
I have two bachelors degrees (Poli. Sci. and Actg) and working on my masters.
Currently, studying/taking portions of the CPA (hope to be completed within 2015).
Job in State Audit
27 years old and married…
Situation: I after some medical issues, my doctor has informed me that if I want to have children, my husband and I will need to start in the very near future.
I dream of BIG 4… A partner at one of the firms has really taken an interest in hiring me, but wants me to pass a few portions of the CPA exam first (so I look like an EXTRA strong candidate).
So, my question is- should my husband and I try to have a baby within the next year? I will interview with said BIG 4 in August 2015 (college recruiting time) and start August 2016. OR hold off on the pregnancy, start with the firm in Dec 2015/Jan 2016 and wait a year or two?
My major concern is that waiting a year or two and being pregnant while still so new at the firm will put my career on the “slow track”.
Any advice, questions, or comments??
