I'm a second year Accounting & Finance student at a university which ranks in the top 10 universities in the UK. Last year (age 18) I was arrested and given a conditional caution for possession of a class A (MDMA).
It's my understanding that drug-related criminal records are viewed as extremely bad - especially a class A. I've been trying to deal with it and I've thought about it every day since it happened. I massively regret it but nothing I can do will change it now.
I am looking at applying for accounting placements at the Big 4 accounting firms and possibly Financial Analyst roles.

Acid or PCP probably would have been better. You'd fit right in at some firms. I'm pretty sure that's Jeffrey Skilling and the other executives at Enron were taking when they came up with Mark to Market accounting. I'm not sure what the executives at Arthur Andersen were taking when they accepted Mark to Market accounting practice. It must have been good stuff.

On a more serious note, drugs site:workplace.stackexchange.com and drugs site:clearancejobs.com. Usually two things are applicable: (1) honesty about the incident; and (2) reformed character that's been tested over time. It will be 5 or 10 years before you can put it behind you and not look back (assuming you stay clean).
