Chartered Accountant breaking into ER
Long time lurker, first time poster. Excellent forum.
Im just curious, has anyone with CA designation and Big4 Experience successfully broken into ER position with non Financial Institution audit experience and no FAS experience.
Currently at Big4 in Toronto in the manufacturing sector. Any advice on how to leverage current experience to break into ER?
Any advice, feedback, tips or even 'you aint got a chance due to MBA competition' is appreciated.
Thanks

How to do it? You would most likely go in at the associate level so best route would be via recruitment consultant or direct approach to the banks. Check Financial News jobs section.

It definitely happens as I have a met a few former CPA/Big 4 guys walking around the department this summer. Like John Mack said depending on how senior you are I would approach a recruiting firm to help get you noticed. I don't know if any BB ER departments are hiring laterals right now so I would also focus my attention on independent and smaller shops if you really want to break in ER.
