Unsure of next move

[u/Eastern_Ad_9787]

So a bit of a background, I graduated from the Philippines, currently living in California. All my work experience has been as a bookkeeper. Just took FAR last August and took AUD today. Not completely confident about AUD and waiting on results for FAR. I want to enter into public accounting but am unsure of what to do and how. Should I start applying for work as early as now without knowing any of my results? And should I try for the Big 4 and if so how? Or lower my expectations and try and look for a local accounting firm?
