    I joined Ernst & Ernst in 1976. I only had 2 accounting courses in college. So how did I get in? I got a one semester internship based on the recommendation of my accounting professor. Despite my thin resume in accounting I showed them that I had common sense. I was hired as a full time associate after gaduation and made it up to supervisor before my 2 year anniversary. I never passed the CPA exam so I left to join a fortune 500 company. The E&E experience on my resume was more valuable than the CPA designation.

    Hi thanks for sharing. When you mention giving examples like for “Leadership”, is it still ok to mention examples outside of work if you’ve been in the workforce for a number of experiences already, please?

    Can I become a Financial Analyst without holding any shares of the company I'm working for?

    • @FinanceUnboxed
      @FinanceUnboxed  3 года назад

      Hey, yes you can certainly become a FA without holding shares in the company. Your compensation package may include share options but you clearly don't need to exercise them if you don't want to. Hope this helps 🙂

    2) What soft skills do i need to get?
    3) how do I impress the interviewer?
    4) what job roles will they offer to us as a fresher?
    And if you what something to add up please do add.

      1) I'll be making a video on this topic
      2) In terms of just soft skills, don't think much beats a confident speaker
      3) Market knowledge specific to their department
      4) I imagine mostly in audit

    Is udemy a good app for learning financial analysis?
    Please suggest how can I learn how to analyse a company on the basis of its fundamentals?

    • @FinanceUnboxed
      @FinanceUnboxed  3 года назад +1

      Hey, I'm not sure which courses there are on udemy but I've heard overall it's a useful resource.
      In terms of learning to analyse companies, courses are a good way to go (whether they be through Udemy or Coursera or something else) but you can also learn the techniques though youtube vids, and then apply those to publicly listed companies, which publish their financial data. Hope this helps 🙂

      Hey, I wouldn't say you're under or over qualified. The CMA is a well respected qualification and will be looked at favourably by the Big 4. Best of luck with the application.

    Hello, unfortunately I didn’t get into any of the big 4s for audit & assurance for the September ‘22 start. I’m quite stuck what to do for the following academic year (graduated in chemical engineering summer ‘21). As I now can’t apply for another 6 months for each firm. I still want to gain the CA qualification, but I’ve heard the opportunities after obtaining this qualification isn’t as great if you gain the CA outside of a big4. What would you advise for someone in my position? Thanks!

    Hi there, have you met any junior staff that was in their early 30s? I am currently doing masters in professional accountancy to do a career change from a health professional background. I would love to land a graduate job in one of the big4s but am slightly worried that my age would act as a barrier in getting a graduate job (I will be 31-32). If you have any tips or advice for a mature student, please let me know :).
