Should I take this class before I start working? Please advise

I am thinking about signing up for this class:

Intermediate Accounting II

This course expands upon the financial accounting concepts and principles developed in Intermediate Financial Accounting I. The focus is on how enterprises account for liabilities and equity accounts, including current and noncurrent liabilities, leases, pensions, income taxes, contributed capital, retained earnings, and stock options. Additional topics include earnings per share, the statement of cash flows, accounting changes, and error corrections.

Would it be helpful in the ANALYST position in IBD?

 

I assume that you're a finance major since it's not a requirement.

If so, I am in the same position as you. I took intermediate I this past semester and have been debating whether to take intermediate II. I need one more accounting elective and was planning on taking tax accounting, but have since decided to take intermediate II. One day this semester, the accounting chair who was my intermediate professor stopped me in the hall to see how things have been. One of the first things he asked me was whether I was taking Intermediate II this semester. He recommended that I take it, especially if I am interested in banking.
