On average - audit in summer will be pretty boring.

I was already so far beyond the point of no return that I couldn't remember what it had looked like when I had passed it.

I fixed that for you.

What they said. I've been in Big 4 audit a while, and would trade the name to go work at Uncle Tony's Boiler Room. I do admire the drive to challenge yourself and blaze your own trail, for that reason alone I think you're better served in finance.

 

Energy trading really leaves your options open, plus it can be a ton of fun. Those seats can be pretty hard to come by, and if you can get into one now, you'll be well served in the future if you're looking to do the same at a bigger firm, or even do energy banking, etc.

Probably, but not as much as audit. I would go for cf.
