Currently 21 and an accounting major. Will be graduating in 2 more years.
Everyone is going for Big 4 jobs, however friends who've worked there (and moved on) tell tales of 80 hour work weeks for 45 grand, coming home Saturday and Sunday at 1am, telling me outright I'm going to hate my job but hey, the exit opportunities are worth it. i.e. headhunters calling on a weekly basis.
However, Canada Revenue Agency also has an auditor apprenticeship program. Start off at 41 grand, after a year of probation move to 50k. No overtime, or if there is, it's paid. Flexible work hours. Paid studies (MBA, law degree).
I'll be severely limiting my choices and while the starting salary is higher, the ceiling is much lower.
Just looking to retire as soon as possible with as painless a journey as possible. Gov't accounting sounds like a dream right now and the only concern is losing my job due to budget cuts and being screwed. Otherwise, I'd rather just stay in the government until I retire.
Which would you guys choose?
