Of the many Accounting career paths, historically, the most advantageous from a career development standpoint is public accounting. The starting salaries have always been higher than private accounting jobs. In fact, starting salaries are expected to increase almost 8% in firms, according to a recent study by Hotjobs and Robert Half. Often starting in the audit line of business, it is not unusual for Big 4 or national firm Accountants to move into Consulting or Tax. A wealth of information can be found at the website for your state's Society of CPA's.
