Job Listing – What does this mean?

    I have been working in the Accounting office at a University for the past 3 years and I am considering making the switch to a public accounting firm. I found some openings at a local firm (not quite Big 4, but definitely in the top 10) but I am confused about the job listings. One is listed as “Fall 2015 – Assurance Associate” and another is listed as “Winter 2016 – Assurance Associate”. These are positions don’t have any requirements other than a Bachelor’s degree and CPA eligibility. What does the Fall/Winter part mean? There is also a listing for a “Assurance Associate” but it requires 1 year of external audit experience which I don’t have. Also, if I do apply and receive an offer, should I expect to get paid the same amount as a recent college grad even though I have 3 years of experience?

    I'm pretty sure Fall 2015 and Winter 2016 means that is when they want you to start.

    So if I was interested in starting sometime between January and March, does that mean that I'm out of luck? I don't see any Spring 2016 openings.

    @BananaPancakes from my experience, and how my firm (a top ten) hires, you'd be wanting the Winter 2016 for a Jan-March start date.. but a lot of those offers have already been extended, so apply and talk to recruiters ASAP

    My job listing with a Big 4 said “winter” and my start date is in January. So if you want to start Jan-March I'd go with winter!

    FAR - 76
    AUD - 84
    REG - 84
    BEC - 87

    Used Becker Self-Study.
    I can't believe I'm done!
