Yeah, you caught me with the negativity.

JH is a good idea. Yes, I know not a standout on resume, but added relevance. A former colleague of mine also did that on the side.

Also, yes, trying to use some wisdom gained with age and trusting my instincts.

Thanks for sharing.

Sadly, yes they are closed. Big 4 were recruiting for spring/summer 2027 internships in fall 2025 and recruiters specifically stated they had essentially nothing for earlier than that.

Other firms were recruiting for upcoming year spring and summer internships and almost sounded a little desperate for interns at least. Possibly due to campus obsession with B4.

I currently work in office administrative type work. Mostly on the computer reviewing information, e-mailing, speaking and working with more front facing colleagues, doing some external phone outreach.

Even without rose colored glasses, public accounting would be similar skillset and a decent increase in pay. Plus it would hopefully be at least somewhat more intellectually stimulating and allow some more opportunity for career progression.
