Am I cooked
Hello, I graduate this august with a degree in accounting and still don't have a job and feel super far behind.
I have been lucky enough to have 3 internships, 2 of which were at super small Tax advisory firms with just one CPA in the office, I currently still work at one of these firms and love it but the firm is too small they don't have a full time role for interns instead just use some for support in tax season. My 3rd internship was at a regional firm last summer, I was really banking on a return offer from here but it didn't work out, they had almost 15 interns on staff and 4 got return offers 3 of which had been there for multiple intern seasons and the other was a son of a partner. I was really banking on this so I didn't do much looking for post grad jobs last summer which is really when the cycle of recruiting is for my grad year.
The place I am at now has a close connection to one of the big 4 firms and I'm hoping that works out but I need more help/advice.
I have good experience and a 3.1 GPA and have already passed the ethics exam requirement for the CPA, how cooked am I?
Any advice on what to do next?
