Hi all,
So I am three months ahead right now before I can start working, and looking for advice.
Little Background:
Bachelor in Accounting > Audit at PwC (Middle East Office) 1.5 Years> Master in Accounting with a valuation Concentration.
At the beginning of my masters, PwC visited my campus and found out that I used to work for PwC Middle east, so they took my info and all and I got contacted by a hiring manager… She asked for me to contact her three months if I was interested in going back to work for them and I said yes and all….
Now, I really don’t want to come back to audit and looking for opportunities in the advisory department (Not keen either in big 4 anymore) I can do any National CPA firm..
Now, do you think I have a shot if I ask to work in TS or Corporate finance department in the US Office? I don’t see myself in audit anymore and I think if I go back to I will be pigeonholed because why do you come back to the same job after the Masters Break…
I have a very valid reason why I left after 1.5 years in audit and that’s because I had a full scholarship offer that I had to take at the time otherwise I would have forfeited the offer so I decided to do my masters…
Anyways, my question is shall I try to ask to be in a different department in PwC? Do you think I have a shot even? or leave PwC as a back up plan if no firm gives me an offer that I want? and from your experiences, what firms will be interested in a candidate with just 1.5 years of audit? My interest is going into TS,Corporate finance, or Valuation….
Thanks all for reading and looking forward for your advice.
