Need advice from mentors - Accounting/ Finance field
Hello,
I need guidance on what are my career options in Jeddah for now. I have done bachelor of Accounting and I’ll also complete my certified accountancy course this year (hopefully). As a foreigner it’s next to impossible to get into big4 as a fresher.
When i graduated i wanted to get into small firms for audit experience but got no luck. Instead i got an offer from the industry and took it because the job market was/is pretty bad for people with no experience. I have been working in the industry for 1.5 years and i see that having audit experience is basically having a weapon. Now i heard if i want to move into lets say big 10-20 they will treat me as a fresher with no experience? I’m confused now if in case i start applying and get an offer will it be the best choice?
On the other hand, if not audit then what can be my career prospects.
Note: My DM’s are open if someone needs more information to guide me. Thank you!
