I have taken up the goal of becoming an accountant for one of the top 4 accounting firms. I will complete my CA. I have half of the required courses from my masters level courses and am retaking finance to get a better understanding of the subject, as I learned it in 6 weeks last year. I think it is a pretty tangible goal as I currently have a 83 average in my req courses and a 3.65 overall gpa. As well I have a 650 GMAT. I plan on getting 80+ in all my remaining courses (5) and network like crazy over the next 6 months. The firms hire in the fall so I have many opertunities to network with key individuals. From what I have heard it is best to have an 'in' with someone in an accounting firm, learn the ropes of the hiring process and gain the competitive advantage.
