College Kid Sends Ridiculous Email to Accounting Recruiter, Sees It Go Viral on Wall Street

Here's the background: A UW-Milwaukee student is currently looking for employment in the accounting industry. He recently met a female recruiter at a career night and later sent her an email, asking for job advice.

He makes several interesting decisions in the email. He talks about possibly having a cold sore. A cold sore! And he… actually, you know what? Just read the second paragraph. It's tremendous.

Hey REDACTED,

We talked a couple weeks back at the UW-Milwaukee accounting night. (I was the one looking for equity research positions and had a zit on my lip that could have passed for a cold sore. Lol. Whew. It was not. You're probably like, “uh.. What?” Maybe that helps you recall, maybe not. Not completely important, I suppose.

Anyways, if you have a chance here is my question: (background first) I interviewed with BDO and Baker Tilly today, two firms that seem like good places to work, I believe they don't kill you like a big 4. Tomorrow I have an interview with Deloitte :O somewhere I thought I've always wanted to work. Obviously I don't have an offer so this is all hypothetical thinking, but if I get the job, the reality of the situation is that I'm getting old. 25. I know you can't force love and I know it just comes when you're not looking, but would working for a big four completely squash any possibilities for potential relationships if one came along? Is working for a big four a potential career – love trade off? I mean, I like money(as do most females) but love is…great 🙂 What are your thoughts?

Thanks!

No word yet if Deloitte has called back. 

UPDATE: I feel the need to clarify: The names are redacted and I know this comes as a surprise: But the email was written by a guy.
