How much is the difference between UCLA and UCSB

My $.02 - as a 25 year CPA in So Cal (did not go to a UC): UCSB students with good grades should have no trouble getting a Big 4 job. A UCSB degree should serve you almost as well as a UCLA degree.

I’d probably stay put, your grades are excellent and you can get out faster.

Perhaps go talk to career services and the student accounting association and get an understanding of Big 4 placement from UCSB over the last couple years.

Good luck!
