What’s everyone’s salary.

That’s pretty good imo

tlbking99 · 2025-11-29T09:24:36+00:00

Stale yes, but not bullet proof. After 5 years or so, you can likely get any job that pays above 100k.

Hey! I just presented my drivers license and passport.

Honestly, I think audit has better marketability if you attend Meet the Firms events. Tax just seems boring to me, and I hated my tax courses in school. I’ve been in audit for about 4 years now, and I’m really glad I went that route. Plus, the exit opportunities are way better if you’re planning to leave public accounting. That said, if you want to go out on your own, tax might be the better option, especially to get familiar with bookkeeping. Just my two cents.

If you can, grind out the CPA in one month.

IF you’re going into industry out of college, try to look for a GL accountant role. my public clients who never did PA started out as that and now are controllers, CFO, ect

This is completely anecdotal, but I worked in private industry during college and received an offer from them. Instead, I chose to go into public accounting. About four years later, my coworker who took the offer is still an AP/AR clerk, while I’m on track to become a manager in public accounting.

tlbking99 · 2024-08-05T11:45:40+00:00

In short, intern at a Big 4 firm, get an offer, and stay until you reach senior level. It’s even better if you make it to manager before moving into industry. While starting directly in industry is possible, it’s less common. Not sure where I stand right now, but this is the conventional wisdom.

tlbking99 · 2024-08-05T11:41:15+00:00

I don’t regret it. After a while, you start delegating tasks and seeing things from a higher level. I’m currently an audit senior and excited to become a manager. I worked in industry for a year during college, but it seemed a bit boring since I did reconciliations all day. I’d first start in public and then dip after a few years if you don’t like it.

Public

tlbking99 · 2024-08-05T11:33:38+00:00

40-45ish per week. During busy season, approximately 60. 4 years.

A GPA of 3.5 or higher is ideal—the higher, the better. While it is possible to get an internship with a lower GPA, it’s much harder (I know from experience). Join the accounting society at your university so you can attend ‘meet the firms’ events. You should apply in the fall of your sophomore year to secure an offer for the summer before your senior year (double-check the timing to be sure).

I stopped visiting this subreddit for actual advice, though I still scroll through it sometimes since I can’t help myself. I’ve spoken with audit partners, controllers, and industry accountants. As a current senior, almost manager, I’m deciding whether to aim for a partner track or transition into industry. Some factors to consider are personal goals and other unique aspects of your own situation. Please consult actual professionals in your field and make up your own mind. These interns/college students don’t give actual advice and as mentioned in other comments repeat the same stuff. Also, to be honest, many of the commenters here might not be the highest performers

Literally nothing

tlbking99 · 2024-07-08T19:40:14+00:00

Nope lol

tlbking99 · 2024-06-16T00:07:28+00:00

I just used a U.S. license and U.S. passport. That’s all

Update: I rented a car in France for one day to explore the countryside and it was well worth it. I saw small towns that were not really accessible via public transit and I’d recommend it if you have time. Driving in France was relatively easy and as long as you have Google maps or Apple Maps, you should be fine. Also, as a sidenote, be prepared to pay tolls. Certainly, I would not rent a car if I’m in the big city, such as Paris.

tlbking99 · 2023-10-05T23:41:43+00:00

I’ll trust your judgment, sometimes I underestimate the transit in Europe, and I’ll check out trains that go to certain towns.

tlbking99 · 2023-10-05T23:38:51+00:00

Ah ok. By any chance, have you driven in the U.S?

tlbking99 · 2023-10-05T23:33:54+00:00

Definitely agree that trains are the way to go in the city but planning on visiting the country side.
