发帖数: 17 | 1 本人Master of Accountant马上毕业了，CPA考过两门，没身份。收到了两个小offer。
都不是特别理想的，所以在纠结。
一个是local CPA 公司一月到四月的intern，要四月份以后才知道给不给full time，
给不给sponsor。
另外一个是个industry的full time，给sponsor。
～两个公司都不大，50个人左右。CPA公司的感觉比industry好，也挺正规的，不过和
四大什么的不能比。以后想再申请到四大去镀镀金，所以觉得有CPA intern的工作经验
很重要。有想过不要full time，去intern。
～刚刚在版上发现大家找工作的找的挺好的，说现在形势变好了，才开始担心如果CPA
公司5月份决定要我，6，7月份再申请H1B之后会不会没有配额了。如果CPA公司决定不
要我了，而且四大又只能等到9月份再申请，那我H-1B就更没谱了。
现在各种纠结。寻求各位的建议！谁知道tax season 四大还招不招人啊？还有如果只
有半年full time经验，四大还会不会要啊？ 万分感激！！！ | l****5

发帖数: 509 | 3 Are you doing tax or audit for the smaller CPA firm 4 months internship?If
it's tax, it's more likely that you'll work on more individual tax than
corporate tax stuff. Tax is pretty specific after 2 to 3 years experience.
You either specialize in close-held entities w/ individual and partnership
tax concentration, or you go after the corporate world. You should probably
ask the CPA firm's client demographics.
If you want to move to big 4 later, you'll need at least 1.5-2 years at
local CPA firm, and they might not even give you a senior title.
What's your position offered at the industry full time job? | C***G
发帖数: 17 | 4 tictaclf ,thank you so much for your response. The position for the full
time is corporate accountant.The responsibilities include A/R,A/P,Payroll,
etc. I believe this is a good transition. It allows me to finish CPA at the
same time gain full time experience.
The CPA firm's client demographics is mainly individual and partnership.It's
good that I can also learn some auditing as well as taxation during the
internship. I like auditing better than taxation. What I am also not sure is
how much the 4 months internship will add value to my resume.
Training of Big 4 attracts me a lot, while I don't really care which
position/title I start with in Big 4. Do you suggest me to apply Big 4 after
working 9 months or 1 year as full time. Thanks again. | t******f
发帖数: 509 | 5 The first 4 months of the year is heavy duty tax season if the CPA
firm's client demographics is mainly individual and partnership, I kind
of doubt that you'll be able to work on audit projects at all during
this time. They must have told you which group your internship is in
already. Smaller firms tend to switch staff between tax season and
audit season, so you'll work on tax projects during tax season and audit
project during audit season given
that you get the full time offer later. That way the firm can totally
utilize your hours.
To be honest, 4 months internship doesn't add much value to your resume
if you want to apply for big 4 at this point. They'll only consider you
as an experienced hiring candidate w/ 1+ year experience, otherwise, you
have no way even getting into the door having bypassed the 1st year
campus recruiting.
Audit experience in public accounting is usually a fast track in career
later on if you switch to industry. The routine A/R, A/P and payroll
work in industry accounting is probably boring at the beginning, and the
chance of being promoted is slim. It takes a really long time to climb
up the career ladder from this route. But bottom line, it's secured
full-time job and the hours are more reasonable w/ better work and life
balance. In comparison, CPA firm might give you a better career
starting point as a professional accountant. But you do have the risk
if they're not extending you the full-time offer at the end of the 4th
month. You just have to weigh our your priorities to determine what is
it that you really want and the level of risk you are willing to take to
get it. |
