Former accounting student making the switch!

Hi everyone,

I just signed up as recently I've been leaning away from a career in accounting. I'm a second year undergraduate student that was always interested in getting my CPA/CA, but now I don't feel that way anymore.

My goal right now is to secure the best possible position for this coming summer that'll propel me forward in landing an IB internship after my junior year. Any advice/pointers for someone just starting off?

Networking is key . You got to sell your self. I graduated with a Accounting degree as well. Understanding the fundamentals of accounting is necessary. Try to get into a Target school. That will make things a lot easier
