Hi guys,
Right now I have to make a decision about which direction I should go: A small CPA firm, which would pay 50k a year or seasonal tax work, with heavy hours but could amount to 40k in 3.5 months
Here is little background about me, I just am graduating with my Masters this December, and have only BEC left for the CPA, which I expect to finish early January. I plan to get an appt with my gf near either job location. Also, I’m 30.
Here are my concerns and hopefully can get some advice:
-I would definitely like to work for PwC because of the name, and also my goal is to work in Big 4 eventually. I actually think I’d like the long hours, as long as my gf doesn’t mind. However it’s only a seasonal job, it ends on 4/18/2014, and I heard most people don’t get full time offers, at least after only one year of seasonal work. I’ll probably have to look again for work after tax season, in which case I assume I’d need to find a full time audit job, and try to switch back into tax. Thing is, I’d probably learn a lot in this time, and it pays nearly as much as the year long job, but without benefits.
-About the full time firm: the office is not a very large office It is not far from where my family lives. The people are really cool, and I think I’d have a lot of support and learn a lot working there. Also, I have a classmate who works there, who got me the interview. Finally, it’s more stable, since I’ll be employed year round. Both jobs start January. My plan, regardless of which I take, is to eventually transfer to a mid-size accounting firm or Big 4.
Which direction I should go? Appreciate any advice.
