ZT-提到big4cpa会计硕士－我和大家share血泪经验吧

请问marlie，你的那几个同学的background如何呢？你觉得他们进入big 4是因为他们身处的地理位置好？还是因为他们有过国内big 4的经验？or just simply passed CPA?

4。不要拘泥于Big 4.很多前几十名的会计公司很好。H1的机会更多些。钱不比Big 4少
(想一下，Big 4需要用高薪来吸引你吗？？），提升快。以后你想去Big 4,还有机会。  

楼主说得是！

hoho, the city where they studied is a small town in midwest. They don't have work experience in big4. They don't even have undergrad major in accounting. The big 4 just want some cheap labor to work for them. So I really think it is quite easy to get in. Sometimes just a little upset because some article are so misleading but still so many people applause.

They don't pass any CPA. But CPA will help.

i know that the big 4 in China just want some cheap labor but i didn't know in US the same situation exist...

It seems that the reputuation of big 4 in US was not as good as we consider now...

看了楼主的文章，忍不住要回帖子了

为什么大家都想进BIG 4呢？记得我们大学还没毕业的时候，他们就来抢人，然后第二个学期就受到OFFER。进去以后，才发现所思所想和他们所宣称的，根本就是两回事。现在只有希望US的BIG 4和中国的不一样，否则真的要失望了。

BIG 4 IS NOT EVERYTHING

one of my chinese friends who works for e&y in here the US says that a lot of e&y employees don't want to stay in the company for more that 3 years if they are not CPAs. even if you have a cpa, it takes long long time to be a partner. however, if you could become a partner, you won't worry about your income anymore.

another american girl i know from PriceWaterHouse also has not intention to stay there for long because the high work pressure and low pay. you've got to work for 60-70 hours per week in tax season. She is trying to find a local firm or go back to school to finish her phd.

But the expereince from Big 4 will give you the leverage to find a better job since recruiters may think "well, if big 4 hired this guy, basically, he must have some qualifications".

Just my two cents.

The CPA here refers to AICPA or CICPA?  I have passed 4 of 5 CICPA subjects, but I don't plan to defer my graduate study in US simply for taking the left one subject again in 2005, 'coz I suppose the CICPA certification won't help in my job hunting in US.  

I'd like to have you guys' opinions about it.  Thanks~~~

美国MS finance 出来进Big 4 都是些什么职位，还是从associate auditor 开始吗？看完楼主的文章，觉得中国本科生进big 4 好像比留学在美国进big 4 要容易很多啊。

另外，我在中国有big 4的经验，去美国MS finance毕业后再进美国big 4 是不是会有优势？
