How stringent is Deloitte about the requirements for JD/LLM applicants to have an undergraduate degree in accounting or tax?

Deloitte is the one Big 4 that really wants an accounting degree. I dont know any LLM that works there in a speciality group without a CPA

+1. Deloitte prefers those with an undergrad degree in accounting/something related to accounting such as business, econ, etc. You don't have to have a CPA for any specialty group but it helps a lot to get your foot in the door and for the job in general.

Why the barrier? Are they a better firm or pay more out of the other 3? Assume there has got to be something if they can afford to be selective on this front?

Not sure. If anything, KPMG should be the better option since it has a pension.

Deloitte has a pension after 3 years i think. Pay ranges pretty wildly for JD/LLMS dependent on market, service line, etc. Probably ranges a lot for the other big4 too.
