Skill>>>Degree? The debate continues!💭 But, what if we told you that practical experience gained as skills are often more important than a degree?🤔 Take the story of an individual who begins as an intern and progresses to become a partner with a considerable remuneration. It demonstrates the significance of skills, commitment, and effort over simply possessing a degree. While obtaining a university education can offer valuable knowledge and qualifications, it is not the solitary route to triumph.📚 At the end of the day, it's all about the expertise you bring to the table.👨💼👩💼 What do you think?

You might have heard the term ‘Big 4’ thrown around a lot. The ‘Big 4’ is the nickname used to refer to the four largest global accounting firms. The four are: Deloitte, Ernst & Young (EY), PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), and Klynveld Peat Marwick Goerdeler (KPMG). Although they are known for accountancy, these titans offer a vast range of services. This reputation might make them seem daunting and unattainable, but these companies offer a fair number of internships and graduate schemes to university students. Being employed early on by one of the Big 4 will set you up for great future success. Get ready for when these opportunities start cropping up in the autumn! #topgrad #industryinsights #accountancy #big4 #careersearch #graduatescheme #ey #deloitte #pwc #kpmg
