Accounting students, is it worth it to apply for PPA even though I don’t want to work for any of the Big 4 firms? Currently a Sophomore Accounting student. I originally wanted to work for a Big 4 firm freshman year, but after talking w/ a lot of folks both in person and online I realized I’d much rather prefer a stronger work-life balance and a mid-sized firm. A lot of folks say the main purpose of PPA is to get easy access to interviews with Big 4, but If I don’t want to work for Big 4, is there any reason to apply?
