I don’t understand the internship thing at all. I mean why do they put so much time in money into Junoirs who may not even get the 150 credits or even 120 credits for that matter than someone with a masters and CPA exam credits tries to talk to them and they just blow them off. It makes no sense when most their employees only last a couple years. If I go to one of their internships for 8 weeks over the summer as a junior I’m automatically hired but if I get 150 credits and pass the CPA exam with no internship there is no chance. This is true at least where I live. And who gets the internships is really political and obviously favors the richer kids who can afford it.

Also what is the chance of a non accounting MBA or business student getting into big 4? A lot of my friends who are finance, economics, and IT majors are trying to do this.

I landed an internship while in graduate school, I was a bit “late” as they say.

I got a Big 4 job as an undergrad with 150 credits, no Big 4 internship, and not even an accounting internship (3 finance internships).

I'm far from rich & I know other people who've gotten internships who are in the same boat as me, financially. It's about being intelligent and personable.

- passed all 4 exams on my first try using Becker!

Ethics: TBD
