Hello, I’m Sarah Bilotti, and I’m a member of BBD’s Class of 2011. I graduated this past May from The University of Scranton, and started full time at BBD in July. My experience with BBD actually began during my sophomore year of college. I met Bobbi, our HR director, at my school’s recruiting event. She invited me along with some other students to come visit the office to learn more about what the firm does and the kind of people that make up BBD. Everyone I met that day was so nice and so excited to tell us about what an awesome firm BBD is. In the few short hours that my visit to the office lasted, I was able to witness the dynamic and friendly culture of BBD, and see what a great place it would be to work
During my junior year when it came time to consider an internship, I knew that BBD was where I wanted to be. I was fortunate enough to have an internship in the Investment Management Group, which is the group I have now joined full time.
The internship was an incredible learning experience because I was able to experience working on audits first hand. If you have the opportunity to do an internship, I would absolutely recommend it. Of course, while it’s necessary to take accounting and auditing classes, there are some things that just cannot be taught in a classroom. I learned so much during my internship and feel like it definitely prepared me to begin my career in public accounting.
In the three months since I have been back at BBD, I have learned more and more each day and had a lot of great experiences. I can honestly say that I’m certain BBD was the right choice for me.
