    Is it possible to switch from management accounting at a mid-size company to Big 4 Audit? (Non-US)

    Posted: 20 Jan 2022 06:01 AM PST

    Hello! Everybody is trying to do vice versa, but I was wondering how possible this is and if you have any suggestions.

    A little backstory: I work as a financial controller at a mid size company in Middle East. I have 4+ years of experience mainly in budgeting and internal reporting. I'm currently studying my master's degree in Finance at a reputable university in my country and my local CPA-internship is ongoing. I decided I want to switch career and I want to work at audit. However, all of the job postings of Big 4 audit have either new graduate or experience in public accounting requirements and I qualify for none. I tried to apply two years ago, before my master's and CPA-internship, but I didn't get any returns. My undergrad school is also considered one of the best and although there are multiple interviews, it's actually easy for our new graduates to get a job at Big 4 in my country. Also, in order to start your local CPA-internship you have to pass a hard exam (which I did), and work for 3 years before the real CPA exam.

    So my questions based on these facts are: 1. Do I have a chance to be considered as a potential hire at Big 4 now, or I shouldn't even bother? If you think I have a chance, do you have any sugggestions for me to stand out? 2. Should I go for inexperienced or experienced roles? I'm fine with either, someone told me they consider me as an experienced hire, but I feel like they don't consider me at all😁

    P.S. I'm aware of everything wrong with Big 4, but it'd be great if you can ignore those while answering :)

    Thank you in advance!
