I wouldn’t give up hope just yet. I talked to NYU career services just before the shitstorm and one of the counselors told me that Big4 accounting firms will still come to hire NYU students even after students are denied from TIP. I dont know how much COVID will affect the hiring process but once the economy starts rolling, I think you should have some opportunities. Don’t give up!!

I mentioned this before, but PwC went on a hiring spree in June of 2017 (my LLM year). So, there is always hope.

A few of my classmates got a call from PwC over the summer giving an offer. These people were REJECTED after callbacks initially.

It may not hurt to be proactive and reach out to their LLM coordinator.

This happened in spring/summer 2019 with EY & PwC as well. The big4 are not nearly as structured in their hiring as biglaw. Don't give up hope. Reach out to alumni.

Nothing. I am pretty sure that the law firms are ghosting me now.

[Anonymous User]

any new developments?

[Pomeranian]

Thoughts on how public accounting firms are being impacted by the COVID-19 recession? I suppose auditing wouldn't be that heavily impacted, but advisory and consulting are getting crushed right now?

[Anonymous User]

Has anyone heard from any of the law firms you had a callback interview for?

To the Big 4 post above... Recently, I spoke to someone at a Big 4 in a major market and he said his ITS is still pretty busy (his particular group - financial services). I also spoke to someone from M&A and that person said that it has been a struggle to get work.

[Anonymous User]

Also curious. Is the hiring entirely stopped? I heard a friend who accepted an offer before things got serious in March is starting as scheduled. Anyone?

[Anonymous User]

Former big 4 IT (very recently former)

Heard that they are still expecting to hire more but, for obvious reasons, are on pause.

IT consulting (M&A, PE deals, etc.) is very slow but compliance is picking up and some compliance teams are still struggling to get experienced staff (nobody wants a noob they have to train remotely now.)

Thanks for this. Did you go biglaw or in house?

Did anyone get their official start dates? If so, was it the one that you requested or a later date?

[Anonymous User]

Yes I am starting in July as planned

[Anonymous User]

KPMG NYC has not submitted start dates for LLMs yet.

I was supposed to start in July for KPMG M&A in a regional office, but I was told that they will be deferring start dates till August/September and that we should be receiving an official email from the national office soon.

Are you in the northeast? I haven't heard anything from the firm except my recruiter sent me a personalized email with my start date in early March. On standby as to whether that start date still holds.

[Anonymous User]

In the southwest.
