Career advice(Accountancy)

why are the forumers here so harsh on him?

he is just asking what other options he have, he did not even mention about wanting to be in some prestigious job like ib etc

When you start looking for a job and don’t know exactly what you want to do, the best advice is to try different options. Think about all the spheres you may work with your degrees and choose the ones which are most appealing at the first glance. Then, prepare the proper application documents and go ahead. There are lots of online sources to help you create competitive resume and other docs, such as ://.businessnewsdaily.com/3207-resume-writing-tips.html, ://craftresumes.com/. I’ve read tons of articles before I made a really good ones.

just to shed some light, on the calibre of candidates the big 4 accepts.

I am in the corporate tax service side and my batch have about 13~15 of us...
i don't know about the other big 4 or other lines of service. so I can't speak for the others.

as far as i know, most of my peers have at least a second upper and some have even attained magna cum laude(shall not name names). Its probably not as selective as FO roles in banking but its also not a walk in a park to get an offer with the big 4 corp tax.

Well' i hope this put things into perspective.
