one of my wife's friends helped to send my resume to a big cpa firm. this firm's headquarter locates in shanghai. and my resume was sent to their shenzhen subsidiary. several days later, i received a call from a man, and he asked me to go to their company for an interview. that day was jan 8, 2013. i agreed tomorrow i would go. then he sent me an email to tell how to reach their company.
i told the news to my wife immediately and she suggested i should make enough preparation. it's a precious chance. but i don't know what i should do to prepare for the interview. i have no auditing experience. i have no idea about the process of interview. so just had my hair cut and made myself look well. that's the only thing i was able to do.
on the morning of jan 9, i wore my best suit and went to the cpa firm. their office locates near the shennan road of shenzhen. i found their office on 12:30 and the interview time was 14:00. so i had lunch and went to the hall of a bank beneath their office. i sat in the quiet hall for a rest. but my brain could stop thinking. i began to consider what would happen if i worked in this cpa firm. it was really ridiculous! but i just couldn't push out of those foolish ideas from my brains.
on 14:00 the interview began officially. i felt tired since i didn't have a good rest at all. firstly, one boy gave me a piece of paper and required me to finish within 20 minutes. it was about logical test. most of the questions are a piece of cake. but few of them troubled me. finally i finished the paper and wanted to review. then the boy came to collect the paper and gave me another paper, which was about professional test. all the questions were written in english, and they were about financial analysis and auditing. i didn't think they were difficult. honestly speaking, the test is not necessary at all for a guy who just passed cpa comprehensive test. i was exhausted when the boy announced the test was over one hour later.
another boy gave me some document and asked me to fill in. he took me to a meeting room and reminded me to fill swiftly because soon someone would talk with me. later this boy gave me a cup of water. i said thanks sincerely since i was extremely thirsty after finishing 2 tests. when i was writing in a hurry, a man came in. he was a senior manager and began to talk with me. minutes later a woman joined the talk. and she was a partner. here i have to mention one detail about the chat. the partner told me she would worry if i would feel comfortable when working overtime till 3:00 or 4:00 am with other young colleagues (she refers to new graduates, and i am 32 years old). i was shocked and answered reluctantly that if occasional, i would accept; if often, i couldn't bear. actually speaking, even if occasionally, i couldn't accept too. health is priceless. i doubted the partner had made her decision at this moment. later they tested my oral english. i talked in english freely. but this couldn’t reverse the result of interview.
the talk didn't last long. half an hour later, they left the room and told me their hr staff would notice me about the result. but i still failed to get any notice until now (10 days have passed). perhaps i won't get notice forever. but that's not important. that job doesn't suit me. i will reject firmly even if they require me to join them.

大所的工作强度很早的时候就听说过的,所以他们比较喜欢刚毕业的学生,这不仅仅是出于成本的考虑。
高强度的工作,不规律的工作时间,长时间的出差,对于30岁以上的我们来说不是都能适应的。自己是否能放开家人的牵绊?已慢慢转差的体质是否能承受这种工作强度?楼主的面试经历让我看到了即使是拿到CPA证书,未来的路也不是就此变成光明大道。
硬币都是有两面的,谢谢楼主分享经验让我们可以更加理性地看待CPA证书的价值。

It is true. The partner told me so. So it doesn't suit me, an old man.

Thanks for your agreement. I have to remember health is more important than money definitely. But people always forget it. Then we lost ourselves.

I felt sad at the cruel reality. CPA firms don't like old guys without auditing experience. Especially big CPA firms. If you pass CPA, you will have a nice future——it is the biggest lie! We shouldn't expect too much about the CPA certificate.
现实的确是残酷的,不过30岁以上的男性比30岁以上的女性还是有些优势。本人就属于>30岁以上的女性范围,内心需要更强大些才行,呵呵。
不过,是金子总会发光,技不压身这些话也是有意义的。
不一定只有进大所才能有发展,可以考虑先进一个中小型的事务所,工作两年有些经验,拿到执业资格,再寻下一步发展。(本人还没通过考试,从事的也非会计相关专业,只是借鉴坛子里的学友经验,以及从自己十多年的工作经历角度分析,仅供参考)
