is reference is d only way out 2 get into big 4s????

Dont get disheartened by them. Prepare a nice resume. Revise your tax and audit concepts. And walk in for an interview directly at their addresses. If you try at all places, you will surely get lucky in atleast 1. Probably they might have vacancies. Apart from Big 4, also try in grant thornton. It can be considered equivalent to Big 4 in terms of articleship. N ya, Congrats for clearing. 

To get articleship in big 4 u have to be a ranker or u need to have a good reference. This goes not only for the big 4 but even in medium or small firms they dont take u without reference. Thats what i have experienced.

Delloit has vacancy...as rightly said by Koolleo87....just prepare a gud resume..clear ur all concept......best of luck

Hi Guys, I want to join in Big4 firms. Especially I am interested in joining in KPMG. Most of people suggested me to take any good reference. Want do you meant by taking good reference? Suppose if we take reference, whom to address to accept me for articleship? needed reply........ :)
