Hi all! - University studies in accounting and finance

Hi all!

I've posted twice on the WSO forum so far in the job advice and resume review sections, so I figured it's about time I introduce myself for formality's sake.

I am 21 years old living in Central Europe and completing the final year of my university studies in accounting and finance. Previously I worked full time in Big 4 audit for a year whilst simultaneously doing my university studies. Currently I am on a career break finishing up my undergrad degree and am aiming at a return to the Big 4 next summer albeit in the TAS/TS or Corp. Fin. service lines and preferably in a more financially orientated country.

I have already received solid advice from some of you for which I am very grateful, and I am looking forward to getting to know even more of you guys in the future.
