Here is a letter from an ex Deloitte employee.   My experience is that tis is the more typical complaint of someone who worked for one of the very large accounting firms. They burn out after two or three years. As the writer says, this is why such firms hire so many recent college grads, the turnover is incredible. Despite the glowing claims of a user friendly work place, this is the story I have been hearing since I graduated from college.

This underscores my suggestion that most of you who are a bit older than the typical college grad won’t be going to such places.  That is another reason I think the CMA or CIA would be a better place to start.
