Oh well ... nothing ventured ... nothing gained. Going to the interview anyway.
The ladies sure like a famous company name on the business card. I fondly remember carrying my KPMG cards and showing off ... when it needed an extra kick
Here is a little story that has come around again it seems:
- In 2003, was offered a choice: Join KPMG as an accountant ... or join a startup that dealt with migrating databases for large companies. Learn IT while doing accounts for the startup.
I went with KPMG because Accountancy is a trade that requires at least 10 years of exp to start being good. Was headhunted for KPMG Tax Technology Team, some geeks they had writing internal software could not handle accounts and the accountants were not geeks, I was supposed to be the bridge.
Until the 2007 financial crisis, when I left.
Mid-2007 The startup went on to sell itself for £200million ... of which as one of the early employees I would have had £1-2 mil in shares.
I was young and clearly foolish. Now ... PWC is working on UK Government blockchain, which sounds a lot more fun than writing tax software
On the other hand, crypto could use my full time dedication.
We shall let the masses decide on
