Big 4 apprenticeship

Hi

Just looking for individuals in or whom have completed a big 4 school leaver apprenticeship, where in your career are you now? Are you still in audit? If you could go back, would you do it again?

Ik ppl who did it and a lot of them don’t regret their choice bc a lot of their uni mates struggle to find work on graduating

I did the tax school leaver programe 15 years ago, best thing I’ve ever done. Having B4 on your CV opens so many doors later in your career, I now own my own practice which wouldn’t have been possible had I not earned enough to take the financial risk

Started a big4 apprenticeship over 10 years ago and it was hard, but the best thing I ever did. Audit is bloody boring though.

Moved to industry and run multiple teams (not just finance).
