KPMG

Where is a better place to start a career, a big bank such as Goldman, Morgan Stanley, or Deutsche in their Finance/Accounting department or working at a Big 4 firm? I assume Big 4 because you can get your CPA right? I am getting a Master's in Accounting by the way.

Hey guys,

If I have an internship offer from both KPMG and PWC in tax for NYC which should I take? I liked the people and environment much more at KPMG and they also offered to pay me more. KPMG offered around $30 an hr and I know friends who just accepted fulltime offers with a starting salary with a Master's in tax of $72,000+(5k signing bonus). PWC offer was about $27/hr and starting salary was low 60's. I really just didn't like the environment or people at PWC. My only fear is the PWC has a much better client base and KPMG I think is having tough times. Do you think accepting an offer at KPMG is risky? Will there be layoffs or a possible reneg of my offer from KPMG? What should I do?

I'm a Junior at UNF, I'm a Finance major on the investment track, I'm planning on taking mandarin classes for my foreign language, my wife is teaching me cantonese, and I plan on moving to HK after my studies, looking at getting a CFA charter. The major firms that recruit from my university are, KPMG, Merrill Lynch, Deutsche Bank, Fidelity, Liberty Mutual, and Citi. I was looking at Merrill mostly, and then things got worse for them. Now I'm mostly looking at KPMG, DB, Fidelity, and Citi (still interested in Merrill though.) Could someone help me as to what they would recommend that I do to be able to transfer from Jacksonville FL to HK, should I get the job in Jacksonville first and then transfer, or just try to apply for a job on the other side of the world. Keep in mind, I will be meeting these recruiters shortly, and I have roughly 4 years in both commercial banking and Financial Services.

Thanks
