I'm a CPA, but I'd personally narrow it down to only options 1 and 3, and go based on which you thought would be a better fit for you.
Gotta warn you though, finance ones sounds like some boring ass data entry. Option 1 is which I would take, as it's got more room for growth from the broad summary IMO
Whatever you find more interesting I guess. Pay seems all similarly shitty so just go with whatever you find interesting/will look best on a resume.

Also, mid-to-small size will mean you'll get delegated to more aspects of work. Large firms will more likely keep you in a tiny silo and as a result you will probably not get as much opportunity to add to your resume

I also forgot to mention, I already interned at company 1

I did general ledger accounting for them, many many journal entries and account reconciliations. Wasn't too bad, but I can't see myself doing it as a career. It's soul sucking
OP here, what's wrong with option 4? It's the option I was leaning to most heavily
Robert Young
Ye, that's why auditing later on is the way to go bro. The workload is tougher and more, but you won't stagnate like in an accounting position at times. Accounting seems more for like when you're leaving audit to join a company at a higher level
Christopher Cruz
Also appreciate the advice a lot btw
Thomas Sanders
Unless you plan on specializing in that industry, property/management will most likely be extremely boring desu. Don't let recruiters trick you into things like travel and expense reimbursement. Ya gotta think there must be a reason why they'd do that (most jobs expense travel anyways)

Property Field full of nepotism IT you'll be able to anywhere in world

Company 1 -Probably your best bet, $14 entry for not much manual labor, chance to make business connections, and maybe impress boomers with computer skills
Company 2 Smaller Healthcare company tax -sounds like you'll be doing a lot of sales calls
Company 3 Large finance company accounting $13 hourly -2nd best option but you will probably want to blow your brains out after a few years of staring at spreadsheets
Company 4 Large retail company property management $15 hourly -sounds enticing, some things to think about. do you have a senpai/gf? you will probably get cucked on when out of town, you will not form any solid business connections bouncing around. property maintenance, like pulling weeds, removing the moldy fridge left by the previous tenants and scraping piss and shit off the walls. best pay but this road will likely only go so far and you will hate the lack of a normal life eventually
Christopher Butler
Literally any of them just as long as you do work
Eli Baker
yeah, good call. I've asked a few buddies as well, companies 1 and 3 seem to be a general consensus. Thoughts on company 2? Tax seems to pay well
Jeremiah Cruz
>No GF, just fuck tinder hoes. Also, it is corporate property management, so no dealing with tenants. Likely just tons of paperwork
James Green
I personally hate tax and flunked it my first go around lmao, but it completely depends on you. So much non-rational legalese, codings and regulations. The firm I work with now, all I know is that I wouldn't want to do that, but some just have a knack for it and like it.
I started mostly in tax for internships, payroll/small biz like 1120s, etc, but my favorite thing was doing compilations which like a bb tier audit, and that's where I dound muh calling.
Do you see yourself going the tax route rather than audit out of school? If so, then yeah, that'd be a great pick
Hunter Lee
4 easy. Many benefits + you can use that in the future to "manage" others money and property for fees.
Leo Lee
CFO here. Company 3 is the best. Compliance sucks, tax at your level is data entry, property management is super specific and requires you learning rules that you don't use anywhere else.
Julian Sanchez
Do it for the biggest and most prestigious company that will look the best of a resume. do it for free if needed
Camden Bennett
I've been thinking, and I don't really care as much about pay as the nature of the work. I wasn't a big fan of the monotonous nature of GL accounting, so I can't imagine I'll be a fan of tax as well.
I also did some glassdoor research, seems the tax internship would pay $15 hourly minimum, possibly more
John Bennett
I'd also like to clarify company 3 isn't an accounting firm, it's an insurance and financial services company
Isaac Rogers
Stopped reading at 'accounting student'.
James Walker
You'd probably more like audit in that case. You've got to put in grunt hours, but Option 3 would be your best bet as it feels like the IT spot wouldn't change much.
You're like a junior/senior right? I hate to shill audit, especially now since this has been my hardest year even with the gained competency (disclosure: I'm only 2nd busy season and will be senior associate summer), but it is very mentally stimulating. You can't think strictly money for a career. I got lucky af in that it's a good fit and my coworkers are dope.
Also, remember that this isn't so much as a desperation thing where you have no leverage. Believe me, these companies will be wanting you more to fill that spot. Wherever you go, grin and bear it for a season or two, and it will improve your abilities later on. Godspeed, kiddo :,)
Kevin Cooper
Thanks for the advice man, much appreciated. Just out of curiosity, are you at big 4?
Hudson Adams
Nope, but it's a mid-size firm similar to their work
Jose Stewart
If your not surrounded by cuntfaced roasties stay put
Grayson Bell
No roasties, but my manager was a hardcore dyke

It depends on what you want to do. I would personally go for #3 because that would give you a lot of networking opportunities, and you might just be able to pretend that your accounting degree is a finance degree and get a good job with them. #1 is good if you want to work with accounting systems. I imagine the intersection of IT and accounting has a ton of spergs in it, so most of the people here would fit in quite well. But if the work is in risk and compliance then it's still pretty good. #2 and #4 aren't even bad, but I wouldn't bother unless you're going into either tax or real estate.
Carson Young
>implying those who won't make it in an accounting major don't go to bb-tier finance major
