@Biff Tannen For sure Federal Taxation of Entities. Particularly C/S corporations, stock 2 for 1 split, partnerships, trusts and estates. I didn't spend a lot of time on it and it was a huge mistake.
Outsider626ParticipantI would say it's worth it. It gives you credentials and respect. Higher salary and more career options. I did a 5 year accounting program and have come so far. I see it CPA as a final step. So why not finish it?
Outsider626ParticipantYeah but why are they asking for it?

Unfortunately I couldn't attend day time events hosted by the big 4 on campus because I had to work so that I could afford to pay for college. I know it was a big mistake. Even though I submitted my resume through college job postings I still did not get any interviews. On the other hand most of the people who attended those networking events got an interview and internship with Big 4. I'm going to take your advice and start attending all the job fairs and networking events around my area. I just want entry level job in public accounting. Doesn't matter to me if it's a small, medium or Big 4 firm.

Outsider626ParticipantI was about to post the same thing. I looked at all the changes and there is nothing complicated. I don't understand why people stressing out…
Outsider626Participant@KSingh85: I' thought becoming a CPA should open some doors for entry level positions. Now i'm worried. What's the point of passing the exam if we are not going to be able to find a job in the field?
Outsider626ParticipantBig 4 want naive students who will bust their asses for 2-4 years and than the new wave will come in and replace them.
Outsider626ParticipantWell the thing is I barely have any accounting experience. I mean I do but it's only 3-4 months that I did VITA program preparing tax returns for individuals with low income. During my 5 years in college I had to work as paralegal at a law firm so that I could pay for school. I wasn't eligible for financial aid. I'm not against working for a mid sized accounting firm but I feel like lack of experience in accounting field will hold me back even from even getting entry level position. I'm not sure if passing CPA exam will open some doors without experience…
Outsider626ParticipantI'm in a similar position as you, only I made a huge mistake and started going to Big 4 events at my campus during my senior year and it was too late. I wish I could go back 2-3 years back and do everything differently. You really have to hustle and go to all those events and kiss ass of the recruiters. A few of my friends told me that's how they got into Big 4. Now I graduated with a double degree and applied for a full time position at EY and KPMG. I highly doubt I will get an interview, but who knows. Maybe I'll get lucky somehow. My plan is to pass the CPA exam and hopefully land an interview with any of the big 4 next year. If it's not going to work than I will look for a career in different field.
