以留美为目的，pitts vs umd，msa专业

vissy

umd：时间一年，在华盛顿附近，地理位置比较好，学费贵7w多，中国学生也很多，所以想要留下来还是和同胞们pk，课程上msa比较偏向内审，不知道对考cpa有没有帮助。
pitts: 时间一年半，不了解匹兹堡就业到底怎么样，貌似同学里本科是会计的不是很多，费用大概6w左右，课程上应该会偏向cpa方向。


楼主本科是会计，现在在外企做了一年的财务，其实楼主也不知道cpa对就业有多重要，但是觉得要找工作这个证还是挺有分量的，请各位投票后说说理由，谢谢！

楼上+1. I personally think if you want to stay in US, it is all about how good you are. Pittsburgh has opened up more opportunities to international students than before. Just so you know that one of the recruiters from big four talked to me on the day I received my full offer that they had to turn down many great INTERNATIONAL candidates because of their English. It is not they do not want us, but many of us do not meet their requirements.

pitt alum with big 4 job offer IN pittsburgh right here. i personally know at least 5 who received big 4 full-time offer after pitt msa. FUCK YOU moron if you don't know shit but talk shit about Pittsburgh. I love DC though, a great city that offers plenty of opportunity and diversity. I am not here to claim that Pitt is better than Maryland. All I am saying is Pittsburgh is a great city with great potential.

Now think about this. Pittsburgh big 4 hires less, for sure, than McLean, VA or Washington, DC. Pittsburgh big4s hire about 160-200 new staff (audit, tax, advisory) in total annually, based on my personally experience and knowledge (no guarantee for accuracy), where I think DC big4s hire somewhere around 800-1000 new (audit, tax advisory), annually. Pittsburgh big 4s recruit from Pitt, Penn State (where most graduates go to philly or nyc), WVU, and some other small schools in western pa area (cmu is unfortunately not included because they  don't produce accounting majors). In comparison, McLean, VA (just so you know, this is the largest DC metro area business hub, search for this location if you haven't heard)  hires from UVA (yahh a great school), BYU (surprise! but it's true), GWU, Virginia Tech, William Mary, American University, University of Delaware, University of Maryland...and 10-20 other  schools in the region. All I am trying to say is that your chance is against you WHEREVER you go to school. Make no mistake: DC offers more non-big-4 opportunities than Pittsburgh ever would. It's the fucking capital for god's sake, but then can you get a job in the White House? Be my guest. oh you might as well just change the constitution and run for the president of United States.

DC area is just so full of government-related work. Deloitte seldomly hires international folks in DC area cuz they have the most governmental contract that requires security clearance. Sure, you can apply to NYC or Boston. Good luck...

All I am saying is, wherever you go, you will have strong competition and your chance is not based on the number of openings in local big 4 office. MAKE your decision on where you want to live and study, and opporutnities shall come no mater where you go. Then it's up to you if you can shovel your lazy ass and seize the opportunity.

PITT硕士找工作不容易得到H1b吧，不少人都是好长时间的OPT，匹兹堡就业机会还是少
