Any Advice is Greatly Appreciated!!

Good Evening Everyone!

Im going into my senior year of accounting and I’ll have my 150 cpa credits at the end of my senior year. I’ve been really lost on how prepared I am for an accounting job so I thought I’d dig back into my old Reddit account and ask for help.

Since I was a freshman I worked at a construction company as a union laborer when I was debating going blue collar, ultimately decided to stick with school and my boss really liked me so he offered me a field tech job which then a year later led to an accounting internship with the controller at this company doing mostly accounts payable, bank recs, and production reporting. I do the internship full time and also was asked by one of the owners to create a process to audit the 600+ employee timecards every week to see if there is any fraud on hours claimed or per diem claimed.

I think I have a pretty strong work history and planning to take a tax internship somewhere this tax season before I graduate to get some public accounting experience. I have a 4.0 major gpa and a 3.93 overall gpa.

My main concern is that I don’t participate much in school. I pretty much work all morning, then go to class at night, go home, sleep, repeat. I don’t have time to spend at clubs or other extra curricular events without sacrificing work which I’ve been trying really hard to take minimal debt in school.

I’m currently in a mentorship program at Deloitte that ends with an interview for a full time audit associate job. Every event of this mentorship I’ve been very stressed out because I have no idea how I stand with other candidates. Is my experience/education even competitive? I just hear other people at these mentorship events have parents in business or are like presidents of things like the bitcoin club at their school, and I don’t have any of that. My sister and I were the first to go to college in our family so I’ve been trying the best I can to ask anyone I can for advice cause I really have no idea what to expect.

This was a long post, but I haven’t been able to sleep the last few nights because this mentorship at Deloitte has been a very exciting experience and weirdly excited about the crazy hours expected at the big 4.

But I mainly can’t sleep because I just can’t stop thinking about if I even have a shot at this interview which comes up next month. I want to be excited but I have no idea if I’m even remotely competitive.
