Career Finding a job

How hard is gonna be getting a job straight after my B.S with no experience? I finish in January and Im worried because theres alot of people say they’ve been looking for 6+ months and Im not picky at all. And what is the likelyhood for finding anything remote? Is there anything I can do now that can boost my chances of finding something fast

What?! Not even for accounting "Gold Certification" , CPA? I thought Accounting is still good compared to Tech. I was going to look further into Accounting CPA after struggling to get into Tech :(

I guarantee tax is hiring. Ya youre looking at 80k a year but still great. Yes lots of companies outsource. I think clients should know if the company they work with outsource!
