Anderson, recruited out of UCR by the Big 6 accounting firms, says he initially wondered how his skills would compare with those of his new colleagues from top 20 business schools. “Without question my skills were as strong if not stronger than those of the others,” he says. “Not only the leadership and business skills we had learned, but also that quality of being gritty, hungry – and tireless from a work ethic standpoint – that you so often see in UCR students.”
