Stability in Accounting
I've made a career change from marketing into accounting, and it was the right decision. This guide came to my attention at the right time as well. I've been entertaining the thought of going into business for myself, but of course now that I've read this guide, i better understand the attraction for going to work for one of the big firms. i've got interviews set up with all of them and am looking forward to eventually getting an offer. this will be a good way to gain solid experience in the field and work with Fortune 500 companies, make the right kind of contacts, so that i can strike out on my own, later on down the road. A good read and definitely helpful in preparing for my interviews. THanks!

Student in Finance Exploring Careers
This book really helped me evaluate a career in accounting and whether or not I want to pusue that. As a student, I'm still in the exploratory phase of my career development and am looking at a lot of different options. I was a little wary of going for accounting due to all of the recent scandal surrounding the industry. I thought that no firms would even be hiring and that accountants would take on the reputation that lawyers have suffered for decades. But this guide gave me a much better idea of what's really doing on right now in the industry than the media had. The author of the guide seemed to really know what they were talking about. I liked the "On the Job" section the best. It described specific job functions and what they actually do each day. I'm still not sure if I want to ultimately be an accountant, but this guide gave me a much better idea of what an accountant's lifestyle is really like. I feel like whatever my decision is, it will be much better informed.

Snagging a Job with the Big Four
Thanks Wetfeet for providing me with a guide that I hope will give me the advantage when I look into getting a job with one of the Big Four. Whether good times or bad, accounting is a skill I'm glad to have since it's always in need. I especially appreciated all of the real people profiles, days in the life, etc. I can definitely see myself in one of these roles. Similar Products
