I am not sure, but haven't you posted something about your internship, interviews, socials with officers, and overall fappage for the Big 4 everday for the past 6 months? Enough already.

Not every day, more like once a week. :confused: I've posted more than I remember but I still don't think it's excessive.

that is the one major consistency between all the firms apparently, they love to work their associates hard. Gotta suck it up and go for it.

First, posting firm name openly like this isn't the smartest move. Big 4 firms prefer people with discretion.

Second, all CPA firms work you hard when you first join and then it doesn't stop. It even continues when you go into industry.

You will be worked hard and the pay will be alright.

You will get plenty of study material after if you join with them. I have a friend who has a friend that does Audit stuff with KPMG. He gets work to do every night when he goes home. He has been with them for about 12 or 18months. They all want to get their staff qualified and stuff. He pulls in £28k a year. Should go up to £35k after 2-3yrs when he has qualified.

Congrats on the job. Hopefully I'll do well at my interview in 2 weeks time also :)

The experience you get will be invaluable to you in the long run. Companies like to hire people with big 4 public accounting experience. Congrats :)
