Hi everyone,
I would love to get into big 4 audit. However I only have
private and public accounting tax experience (I interned
in tax with a private co, worked there for 10 months
after graduation and been with a CPA firm for almost a
year now, also in TAX). I personally dont like Tax but I
can't seem to get out of it.
Does anyone have any suggestion on how to switch from tax
to audit? I am not in school right now so recruiters said
"I am in a tough in-between stage" I recently got turned
down by a CPA firm in town for an audit position. I dont
know how to get audit experience if no one lets me.
I also asked my firm to let me try audit (but not telling
them ao agressively that I dont like TAX) They said they
would look into it but so far nothing. I couldnt press
the issue too much because I dont want them to get any
idea. But I feel stuck at my job. Is there a way to get
out of this?

From your experience, what is the
winter:summer intern class size ratio? I
want to apply for a winter position but I
fear the class size ratio would be 1:100

Hmm that one I'm not too sure about. I would say maybe somewhere between 1:5 - 1:10 for audit? There's no way it's 1:100, I'm pretty sure we didn't even have 100 summer interns across both audit and tax, let alone audit. This is speaking from just seeing one winter and one summer class come through. But I think winter interning class was maybe 4-5 for audit? Summer was maybe 30-50 for audit? I'm sure this varies depending on which region/office you're in, potentially the year, etc. But yeah that's based on my experiences with my firm.
