ACCA, training in the industry - good idea?

Hi

while browsing for the new job I noticed that all large multinationals always prefer big 4 "graduates" when looking for qualified accountants

so the question below is for those who went industry road:


do you think ACCA should do more to raise the profile of ACCA students who trained in industry?

it bugs me that I have gone through all the effort of passing ACCA exams, had my PERs signed off only to feel as a second class citizen in the accounting world


if it is known that industry route misses something, should ACCA provide some additional support to its students?

it seems multinationals believe industry trained ACCAs are somehow less capable

thanks for your opinion

its just standard HR dribble.

Ignore it. If interested in the role then apply.

Industry training is dependent on the employer some good some bad.

Some place might be hesitant to hire a industry trained Accountant if they have no experience in that industry
