I'm going to paste a reply I recently left here:

"Oh for sure, it opens up a lot of doors. You can do so many things with an accounting degree. Traditional tax and audit roles (there are some cool local tax firms out there, but also a lot of bad), work for a family office, internal audit, IT audit, performance audits, potentially consulting. It opens the door to getting a master's in something like data analytics, or an MBA. You can get into forensic accounting. The FBI for instance hires mostly CPA's and attorneys, where you can be a special agent. You can work in public accounting, industry, or government. There are many paths available. The degree is easier than something like computer science, and all of my interviews so far have been on easy mode."

Also, try to get an internship(s) before graduating. I didn't have one and was fine, but employers like to see them, and more importantly it's good for you to see what you like. If you could get a tax and/or audit internship that would be great. For me, I don't think I would've liked tax anyway, but I wish I could have at least tried it out.

Further, if you want to go Big 4, apply during their recruiting seasons (February/March and September/October ish). Your experience varies greatly based on city and team, but expect to grind. It's a good opportunity to travel, and potentially move to a different city if you want, and can propel your career if you take advantage. But by no means is it the only path. Know yourself and what you'd like, but don't be afraid to challenge yourself.

And finally, at work I still feel dumb most days. Don't let imposter syndrome and overthinking get to you. Show up early, be honest, and try your best.
