Would accounting work experience still matter when one is in the job market looking for faculty positions?
How many times have you asked this? Some schools care but not a lot. I don't think it's worth taking several years to work if you want to end up in academia but reasonable people disagree.

One person dip s**t. Not 514 grads a year.
Machines discount cash flows, but still one needs a programmer to program an algorithm that reproduces a trading strategy. Machines do credits to the right and debits to the left. And sooner will do the fasb job
Machines can discount cash flows. Finance degree will be worthless in 5 to 10 years. How will finance professors fund their dick size and CEO risk aversion research?

Better to go finance... accounting bubble is popping

Also debuts and credits is bookkeeping taught at community college. CPAs interpret the output. CPAs will be more an important in the age of data analytics and AI. Stupid dumbass finance people should get off the thread. Go debate dick size.

People without work experience are green and don’t know how to interrelate with people. Don’t know how departments run. They complain about service having know clue how time consuming real jobs are. Essentially people without work experience don’t know s**t and overcompensate by leveraging some BS knowledge of economics spewing pointless jargon to pretend they actual know something of value.

It matters unless you’re targeting top top schools.

His website has already been updated saying he is at Utah and has a placeholder for a Utah phone number, though his resume still shows Emory.
Already at Utah I believe
I heard EO is going to Utah?
True, effective 1/1/19 (an unusual mid-academic-year move). Personal website (and vita thereon) have now been updated.

Since this is a recruiting blog, I want to contribute my two cents. Many of you will receive multiple offers and will have to make choice soon. So, how to chose one?
The following advice reflects my personal experiences that many have found useful. I was at best, moderately successful in publishing. I was associated with both private and public schools in many roles. Advice differs from people to people, based on their experiences. So, the following may not be the best one for all. Yet, keep the following criteria in mind, arguably, in that order:
1. Does that school control JAR or JAE? Can the school get you invite to JAR or JAE conference? Sadly, this is an important prerequisite for publications.
2. Does the school have permanent editors? Associate editors? JAR, JAE, and RAST editors are what I call permanent editors. TAR, CAR, and Management Science don’t have permanent editors.
3. Does the school have a cohort of assistant professors? Most coauthor relationships are formed in the first 5-6-year stint and go a long way.
4. Does the school have a PhD program? Doctoral students bring unfettered ideas and lead to successful papers and coauthorships.
5. Can the school promise you one prep of teaching to be completed in one quarter or semester? Can they promise you a max of two-course load in the first year followed by a load of three during the rest of your untenured contract?
6. Salaries are similar across schools. But what kind of research support would you get to travel to conferences? To hire RAs? To hand collect data?
7. What is the school’s placement record in the secondary market? This is another reality you must plan for. More than 50% of us don’t make it in the first place. So, look for a place that can maintain or even enhance your secondary market value.
Finally, do not forget family needs. Even if you don’t have one now, you might plan one. The challenges of dual-career with that of getting tenure can make life miserable for many.
Best wishes. -
Thank you!
Sound advice.These are more of a school ranking though. What would be criteria if you bave offers from similar schools that are not differentiate by your criteria?
