Any relevant work experience helps, but given your background I don’t see it as necessary. Just depends on how much you want to hedge your bets.

I’m not personally familiar with recruiting in Pittsburgh, but I can’t imagine E&Y and KPMG would pass on Pitt. You’ll have your chance at those firms as a MAcc student.

Also keep in mind Pittsburgh is a small business market. For perspective, the Big 4 have more people in Irvine, a suburb an hour from LA, than they do Pittsburgh. You may want to consider a market with more opportunity.
