Age by no means is a factor at all when recruiting. You'll find that 90% of the recruits are fresh college grads, others are going through a career switch. Starting with public accounting, as long as you're competent enough to learn/do the work, that's all that matters. In my start class...

Never really thought about it that way, but that makes perfect sense. I think most people are in the same boat as me in the thought process of 2-3 years at Big 4 + CPA = golden opportunity from there on out. I mean at the same time, who REALLY likes Big 4? ;)

-Keep doing what you're doing and keep your grades up. -Grades can only take you so far, but at the same time grades are pretty much the only thing recruiters can look at when screening you at meet the firms -Once you get an interview, it's all about personality and fit; can the people...

To answer a few of your questions, bigger markets such as NYC, SF, LA, Chicago, etc do have more of a diversity in terms of types of clients, but don't think that just because you work in these bigger offices, you won't be stuck/specialized in a certain industry, such as pharmaceuticals or real...

I agree 100%, Lazy. All that engagement management definitely applies across all industries and can only help. I was just saying that going into my first year as a senior associate, most people don't forget to expand on that. Progressing through our firm, my seniors above never really made an...

Rockin' this Barbour quilted jacket.

Congrats on the internship/full time offers guys. I know what it feels like!:hat Just got promoted to Senior Associate myself a month and a half ago, already feeling the heat.

Lazy, who do you work for if you don't mind me asking? I'm with KPMG in SF doing audit.

2 years Associate, 3 years Senior Associate, then manager.

Big 4 out of college and I know for a fact that for the Bay Area market, starting salary was between $52K - $55K for audit. Not much of a bump for cost of living compared to Chicago, NYC, etc. Even comparing SJ to SF, there was no difference in starting salaries. For our NYC counterparts...

weird, probably depending on which phone/carrier you trying to get. But I just randomly chose 32gb space grey for sprint and it shows Los Gatos and Corte Madera got some in stock. Or it could just be the employees trying to hold one for themselves.

Corte Madera Apple store got some phones in stock if you willing to make the drive.

How much discount do you get?? And do you work weekends only?

Anybody got one of these bad boys? I was looking at one and these look pretty cool.. If you have it, is it worth it? How often do you use it? Do you have to take it off/put it on every time you use it? For those that don't know what it is:

Pair of these bad boys :hat Allen Edmonds Strand in Bourbon
