Ehh.. I think it all depends on yourself. If you want to join in the prestigous company later on and you think you are able to cope with the working environment there, then you can go to big 4 company...

If you dont want to overload your body, then you can choose to work in medium firm or small firm..But the big companies like shell prefer accountant who works in the big 4....

halo! i'm new to this forum.   

where can i find 2.2 past year Questions ?

uhmm yeah i'm born in 1984.... but there are a lot younger affliate than me in my firm.. mostly younger than me 1 year and mostly from sunway... so.. i'm not considered young. 

no la i'm not coolly.. what for i maintain 2 accounts.. barely have time to reply to this thread  hahaha
yah.. same age XD 
part 3 is almost ending already ma. dun worry.. 
the big 4 i work, the industry i'm in.. it's constantly peak period.. my record was more than 48 hours no sleep to finish up work..which before that.. i've only sleep like 2-3 hours day for a week... i just sleep like pig the next day i finish everything.. and that was couple of weeks ago..LOL.. now i'm already on another tight deadline job.. sucky life..

hellokitty.. which firm u working in? the one in millenium? kl? damansara uptown or..........  ??  maybe we r colleagues hahaha

talking bout commercial vs audit.. think bout this.. in audit.. it's easier for u to climb up the "corporate ladder".. within 5 years.. u are already a manager.. then u can quit ur job and become another manager in commercial world...and with the portfolio u have, it's easy to get a high profile job...

by starting off in commercial world, in 5 yrs time.. most probably u'll start as a accounts exec and end up at accountant level? (mind u, accountant level in commercial is not very high position in big companies.. they have so many accountants).. how long will it take u to be a manager in commercial world? u'll have to wait until there's a vacancy.. probably when someone got promoted? when someone died? etc etc?.. most of the time it'll take u more than 5 yrs to reach managerial level.

however, it's about how much u r willing to sacrifice for ur futuree.. u want a peaceful life then commercial isgood enough.. if u want to achieve something in ur life.. auditing can pave a shortcut for u..

END OF STORY. 

Happy holidays 2 AFA2!! Exam just ended...phew...was a nightmare. Need 2 concentrate on external from today onwards!

wow...u more geng than me....!!!ask me no sleep for 48 hours...i can die man!!but anyway..i dont think it is good for health like this...coz u overload ur work and ur efficiency is actually drop, u cant think. this is what i think.
so i prefer for a job... and it is tight deadline..prefer to everyday OT average max to 11-12am rather than work 48hours non stop at the end. that is really really tiring.

eerr...haha...where im working....can give u clue...recently been suspended by SC for 6 months. 
how about u hikari??

congratulations...

ya,u should comcentrate on ur external now...

u shd know the way to prepare for it is a huge difference compare to the internal one...  

hehe...now u only know meh...

i am part time AFA advisor leh...esp in TC AFA blog...hehe..  

yalo...entertainment is important as well...u can watch movie and yet pass ur acca..  

haha...yea...D uptown very difficult to get parking de....

yes...true..ACCA qualification is just like a passport for you.
for my firm, i know in KL branch, they got 2 times promotion a year...in other state...once a year...and "normally" after one yr as assistant 2..u will promoted to assistant 1...and so on...
yes...there are always rumours saying that ACCA maybe get better treatment than degree grads...but in fact...NO!! so dont dream lor....lol..
but yet...the boss expect ACCA to perform more lor... 

Welcome to this threat.. Erm, for ur ques, thats depend on urself.. Are u new in ACCA..?? There are pros n cons for evy coll de la... Basically, 3types of ACCA tuition provider:



b) TARC - college environment.. Easier to get thru with the diploma n adv diploma (internal exam).. But it requires 4 years in TARC then take ACCA part 3 examination.. Its more difficult to handle external exam in ACCA part 3 once u in TARC used to internal exam type...

ANyhow, its just my opinion.. Hope it helps.. Im sorry if i made any mistake in the above points..

yalor...b4 i came in big 4...everyone said..acca better..increment n promotion also better....but when really joined....nothing!!same...!!

yea...not fair one...they got 2 times appraisal in a year...we dun have.... 

when working that time no need so susah go class lor.. it's hard to study and work at the same time la..  that's the only benefit i can think of right now heheheh

yer...like that only a...no good der....    

yup, after 3 yrs, u r no longer an affliate, u are a member of professional body and u r "qualified".. so u'll get "qualified pay" which in my firm is significantly higher.. but the degree ppl who finish their CPA,ACCA etc,if they join same time with u,3 yrs in the firm also, will get the qualified pay at the same time with u ma.. since both of u have 3 yrs experience, because the working experience part starts when u work, not when u pass ur exams.. so in the end........ u guys will be getting the same pay also  LMAO
sanction only ma.. not license revocation.. no new clients wont die 1 la.. just that ur existing client will cabut la.. ur reputation not very good lor.. hehehehehe

no mah....we study so hard also get same pay as degree wor...

then hor we need to pay annual subscription o....

very cham ma..then pay also same...not pity meh...  

how u know i no need go to class?who know?      

Regarding TARC, i thk sitting for internal is much more comfortable than sitting external. Internal is easier to pass and u dun have to stuck at external paper is u fail it. For me, i thk the exposure to external paper can be gained by practising more past year examination paper. But telling the truth, u must be prepared to face the lecturers of part 3....you will know the difference then.

now i pay discounted one..so is 85 pound lo...hehe..

but still expensive hor...  

normal one is same as member one...so times 2 lo...  

yalo yalo...shd be around that...
