A) 3 years audit experience with big 4
B) 2 years audit experience with big 4 followed by 1 year as management accountant in Fortune 500
Interested to get monkeys take on this. I think at least with the management accounting you could spin budget setting as some form of predictive modelling (tenuous I know).
What would people say would be the more attractive to potential employers out of the two?
Does option B say you couldnt hack three years or does the varied experience make up for it? Also is it easier tomove Big 4 to Banking or Industry to banking?
Actually, it's how hot your mother is.
Neither move is easy and I'd say you're going to have to go to a boutique bank (small) and kill yourself for a couple years before you can even look up and ask for a chance somewhere else.
2 years of work + 1 year doing something else + MBA -> Associate > better idea than jump to analyst IMO.
Not a lot of places are going to start you as an associate after b-school if all you've done is accounting/audit and no modeling.
