...well not really a free year.
Im working in audit with one of the big 4 at the moment. Doing final exams this year and all going well should pass and then I'll have another year at the big 4 with no exams.
Now my questions is what could I do for that year that would help the cv/look good to employers seeing as I'll have a bit more time.
I despise every second of audit work so want to do something else....ideally IBD (long shot) but Id also like advisory within big 4.
I plan to learn a language but is there anything else I could dedicate myself to for a year that would be worthwhile? I was thinking start CFA's but they seem more focused on trading/portfolio management.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
If you are in audit, hate it, and you wish to move onto something else eventually, I think the best use of your time over the next year would be networking. Of course, learning a language on the side is always worthwhile but probably of secondary importance.
peace corps for two years in the small biz advisory in latin america.
Teach English in China or somewhere else in Asia. Make decent money and you have the opportunity to bang a bunch of Asian chicks. I don't really see the downside here.
I'd second what DDGM1112 said. Network your way into transaction services if you can and that would interest you.
If you have a year off I would either network, travel or do an internship with a bank or something. Maybe you can convert that internship into an offer and ditch the audit job.
Thanks guys.....some solid advice.
Dont think I explained myself quite as wellas I could've though.
I dont have a year off from work...just a year off from exams. Basically Ill get my final exams in second year and in third year Ill have no exams.
So was just wondering if there was anything worthwhile I could do in the evening since I would no longer have lectures.
