Last year, when Vault asked accounting professionals what matters most to them in choosing an employer, they told us that although prestige is important, it’s not the most important determining factor. In fact, 36.3 percent of all accounting professionals we surveyed told us “firm culture” was the most important factor, while only 11.4 percent cited “prestige” as most important. Other top factors, in order of importance, were: lifestyle/work-balance (13.8 percent), location (12.71 percent), compensation (5 percent) and training opportunities (4.8 percent).
As a result of these findings, Vault has compiled a weighted formula that reflects the issues job seekers care about most. The Vault Accounting ranking is based on the following:
40 percent prestige 20 percent firm culture 10 percent overall satisfaction 10 percent compensation 10 percent hours |
