I have an accounting degree and have a general knowledge of taxation of
individuals, including partners/S-Corp shareholders, and also of
taxation of C-Corporations. Even though I've passed the regulation
(tax/business law) section of the CPA exam, I'm having some trouble
finding accounting work. I've gotten some leads, but I don't have any
real-world accounting experience, so that is holding me back slightly I
believe. Anyway, recently (and another time before not so recently) I
received an e-mail (which I'm sure every other local person who has an
accounting or finance/business degree received as well) through
monster.com from a financial services firm that's expanding into my
area. It's a national firm, though the name isn't nationally known by
everyday people.
So, if this firm is like most firms who interview just about anybody to
see if they could be a good fit, what's it like for the entry-level
scrub? Is it like other industries where they start you off with about
10 leads or so and you're on your own trying desperately to make
contacts through cold-calls? Am I guessing correctly when I assume
that I really wouldn't be doing much
"planning" at all in the beginning?
