Hello everybody, it's Mr. IPO coming at you from the New York Stock Exchange! ...otherwise known as my distinctly non-corporate bedroom...I would pretend to know something about accounting careers, but seeing as how my CPA review books have been sitting on the floor of my bedroom, uncracked, for the last 2 weeks, I don't think you'd want my "expert" advice. I can, however, tell you that a good number of accountants choose to start public and go private. You learn a hell of a lot auditing other people's companies, both accounting-wise and business-wise; whereas, with a private firm, you'd start out as a low person on the totem pole making less money, and only get to know how your own company does business. Plus, you save money by going to a public accounting firm because they pay for you to get your CPA (I don't know about private firms, but I doubt a private company would be as concerned with paying good money for someone in their internal accounting department to get their CPA, when they've already hired you). So you work public
