<p>I'm carious what the job prospects are for those who receive a cpa but are unable to get into a big 4 firm, for whatever reason.</p>
<p>are those people doomed to a 40-50 thousand dollar salary for the rest of their life?</p>
<p>Nice joke... CPA making 40-50k</p>
<p>i honestly have no idea. </p>
<p>i noticed that the average salary for a cpa is 65-70 thousand a year (is that right?). assuming that best paid cpa's end up in the big 4, that seems to suggest that non big 4 cpa's earn in the 50 thousand range.</p>
<p>is something wrong here in my reasoning?</p>
<p>Regional firms pay almost the same as Big Four, you don't have to goto Big Four to make loads u can be a corporate accountant and still make 50k starting a year. You have your figures all wrong buddy. Research more.</p>
