这两天Finance明显比Accounting多。

前几天，accounting 报offer和interview的还挺多，
但是现在Finance开始多了。原因是finance申请人多导致挑选速度慢，导致出结果慢？
Finance 还是可以选择去工业界，看着那些大牛拿着几十万薪水，真是一边眼红，一边流口水。
Accounting Phd就一定不能去工业界么？ 唉。。。就担心毕业以后Accounting Faculty职位难找，去工业界又被嫌弃。 最后只能把PhD藏起来，用以前的Master和工作经验，考CPA，找会计工作了。
为什么我不是牛人？　为什么我不是富二代？　
气愤！！！

Take it easy. Even for finance PhDs, it is not easy to get into industry now.  I know somebody who says that a lot of science industry positions now require a couple of years of postdoc experience and that is my prediction for finance PhDs a couple of years down the future (very likely for Chinese PhDs, for Americans I think it is still fairly easy) .


"那些大牛拿着几十万薪水", that's for superb person, and in accounting they can do the same, e.g., Charles Lee, Scott Richardson, Richard Sloan, etc. Smart persons are paid handsomely regardless of their field.


Accounting PhD, if you do empirical stuff especially in valuation, it's quite easy, but most people choose to stay in academia because it is not worth the price.

I appreciate for your kindly reply. Could you please explain the following sentence a little more?
"Accounting PhD, if you do empirical stuff especially in valuation, it's quite easy, but most people choose to stay in academia because it is not worth the price. "
I will focus on Empirical Financial Accounting in the coming PhD program. And one of my research interests is about accounting based valuation (but  the program may not offer valuation courses for PhD students).  Do you think it is quite easy to get a position in industry or in school for my case?  A report showed that the supply of financial accounting PhD will meet 91% of demand in 2007. I am not sure whether my niche will become too narrow to get a job when I graduate.
