Everybody is telling me the same thing man. That my experience is quite strange. You know what? A part of me actually admires that guy. That he took the professional route and gave students without references a level playing field. When I first thought about applying in firms, pretty much everybody told me that it would be impossible to get in BIG4 without a reference. My experience has actually given me hope. I don't have many references in this field, so I'll now apply in firms without them. The only thing I have against that partner was his attitude. Refusing to shake my hand....I mean c'mon!!!! That's an incredibly low thing to do. Then insulting me for having a reference. And then shrugging off my answers as if I am telling him about rocket science rather than auditing. Utterly disgraceful attitude. If he had no desire to induct me, then he shouldn't have called me for the second interview. It would have saved his and my time. Simple as that !!!!
