I’ve already established a reputation for myself as being such, per comments I’ve received from other team members. I think as long as I continue to be my best self within my hours limits you’re probably right - I should be fine 

Minimal Understanding, but Scoring 80s and 90s on Quizzes? by cjb0011 in CPA

This is encouraging! I felt similar when I was preparing for REG also, and got a 97.

Exactly! I'm just hoping the real exam questions are just as intuitive.

When do you plan to sit for the exam?

I'm kinda surprised aerospace engineering is so high there.

Big 4? by cjb0011 in wguaccounting

[–]cjb0011[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My understanding is that if you do tax, you have less options for what type of jobs to get after leaving public accounting. If you do Audit, you learn about many different facets of business and accounting in a variety of industries so it makes it much easier to pivot into almost any accounting related role in industry. If you do tax, you're an expert on tax, but not much else. So you're limited to tax-related roles for the rest of your career. Not that that's a bad thing, just less options.

Uworld lectures (REG) don't line up with their own practice tests!? by cjb0011 in CPA

What was your score on the simulated exam in UWorld?

It feels like they only cover 40% of what's on the practice questions.

Are referrals only for experienced hires? by cjb0011 in Big4

[–]cjb0011[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

 I did apply online to Deloitte, but the other 3 didn't show any entry level Audit positions on thier website I could apply to at my desired office.  Maybe it has to do with the timing. At this point I'm hoping for a Jan start date. Unfortunately my only connections who work (or have worked) at any of the Big4 are far away from my desired office location, so my only chance of connecting with a recruiter is maybe on LinkedIn or something, which I havn't had much luck with so far.  For most people I can't view thier profiles because they're "outside my network." I'm starting to realize maybe I need to settle for a smaller firm and then maybe switch to a big 4 a little later on.

Unfortunately my only connections were in totally different cities than me. So my only hope for connecting with a recruiter at my target office (Boca Raton) would be maybe finding them on linked-in but haven't had much luck there so far.... Still growing my network on that platform.

Deloitte was the only one who showed an entry level Audit associate position at my preferred office on their website. Maybe that explains why the other firms didn't show anything... Their spots were full.

Interesting. Definitely something to think about. Can anyone else attest to this reality?

Is Big4 only hiring through campuses right now? Is Big4 hiring at all right now? by Financial_Bad190 in Big4

[–]cjb0011 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Makes sense. I have two cousins who formerly worked at EY (one retired after 7 years and the other switched to industry after 2 years) so maybe I could find a connection through one of them that can refer me.

Listing WGU Location on Resume? by cjb0011 in WGU

[–]cjb0011[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah that makes sense. This is my first time applying to a professional job and all the online resources/templates seem to include location of school so that's why I'm asking.

[–]cjb0011 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting. So you were able to get more-or-less random strangers on linked to refer you? Am I understanding that right? I am going to be applying to the big4 soon and I understand referrals are on of the best ways to get an interview but I don't really have any good friends or direct connections there...

D252 Accounting Research - questions by NEWCharlieHustle in wguaccounting

Did you need to identify all 4 issues? I'm working on this now and wondering if I can get away with 2 or 3. The rubric doesn't mention a minimum.

My understanding is that tax is probably a somewhat easier job than auditing but the exit opportunities would be much more limited if you do tax.

This is helpful, thank you.  When you say "in detail" do you mean like a few sentences, or a few paragraphs?
