Big 4 Audit -> LSE -> Banking
I want to move to London.
I am an American senior accounting & finance major at a non-target state school. My cumulative GPA is 3.96. Currently I have an offer is with a Big 4 in audit as well as Teach for America. I don't want to spend very long at Big 4 and because I was pretty satisfied with accounting, I have done minimal networking. This year the only interview I could land for banking was with RBS. But they did not end up taking anyone from my school so I struck out.
As far as Teach for America goes, I don't know how passionate I am about teaching so they is pretty much out of the question.
I thinking about working at Big 4 audit for a year so I can take the GMAT and figure out transferring there. Also, I want to be back in NYC.
If I was able to get into LSE for the MSc Fin program, would I stand a decent chance at landing an IBD in London? Or would my audit experience forever taint me? I am also eligible to sit for the CPA after I graduate, should I sit for that?
Anyone know where I could find this information?
I don't know man. Audit is tough. I am in the same boat and I didn't accept my offer in Audit NYC. Which one are you with? PM me if you want.
Not sure about TFA (although I've heard it's a great way to get into top MBA), but you can definitely get into IBD from Big 4 audit. You'll have to network and all that interview prep, but Big 4 to IBD (especially MM/boutique) is definitely doable.
