Hello! I am a CPA here in PH, with 2 years audit experience in SGV and 6 years experience in private. Gusto ko sana bumalik sa audit, though I have doubts na baka hindi ako matanggap sa audit firms sa AU knowing that I have only 2 yrs exp. and I am offshore. Are there any chances na may makapagsponsor sakin na audit firm given my experience? Please give me an insight.
I also have this option na maging dependent na lang ng BF ko coz he's applying 482 as pharmacist naman.
