My firm recruited straight from my college, so there was a pretty direct pipeline from intern to associate. Besides that, the only advice I can give you is to ask to get staffed on some forensic projects. Maybe mention to the firm that you're interested in going for your CFE or CFF exam? 
  
 Sorry that I can't give you any better advice.

The CFF and CFE recommendation is incredibly helpful. Definitely something that I see myself doing if I stay in public accounting after a few years in audit. What made you get out of forensic accounting?
