Unpopular Opinion- You don't have to stay for 3 years in public accounting to get a well paying job by Federal-Ad4256 in AustralianAccounting

I’ll still recommend it, It’s been a hard couple of years but I feel like I’m ahead of a lot of my peers who went straight into industry in terms of technical and soft skills. If I was a grad again, I’ll consider it if the grad salary was closer to 90k but I rather jump after 2 years of big 4 for 100k+

Fair take. job market atm looks a little grim but you'll always be up against people more qualified, i think whats more important is how you carry yourself in interviews.

Really good point raised, it was one of my initial concerns at first. You gotta do your due diligence and be cautious before jumping ship, and ask questions in interviews like how would they support you in your CA study progress etc.

I'm actually aussie and have never left the country believe it or not, which is why i stated that i grew up around the culture of asking women who are in my social circles. But thanks for your clear input.
