Announcement in few days, after that can breathe slightly.
About juniors, sigh hope for the best lo.

After announcement and AC meeting, just back from k session

I condone the culture of work hard, play hard and die hard also

For a girl, look as blur and innocent as possible, maybe a senior dude may approach you.

For a guy, be as macho and imposing to create the power staff image so big teams will grab you.

But to be honest be humble, observant and prudent unless you are highly confident of your abilities.

If the girl got brains + looks + attitude, screw the guys. But i agree they are not many, but when found most really treasure

Guys are generally ok (rarely got mood swings) but their quality is more varied compared to girls. Some are damn good while some simply vomit blood. But i prefer guys since can talk shit, discuss problem, pijak client, sapu the rubbish, go bar, watch football, play games and talk bout girls (client and internal).

Your last statement indicates like the girl "was" in your team ?

Added on February 26, 2011, 3:53 pmI normally guide people who is either older/same age as me. To me age is not an issue as long as willing to learn. If you have some sort of ego then your problem la. If I can learn from a junior about certain skills also, I wouldn't mind cos it will help me. Strangely most if not all the girls in my team are tough like nuts (there is only 2 or 3 dudes) so I never encountered your issue

Sigh, for some reason the manager has higher expectation of the guys do deliver on work and socially too as in you have to become the bodyguard, chaffeur, despatch, luggage carrier, tapau man and among others.

Personally if that person sit there and do nothing, I will be the first person to grill.

I met people from all different culture and background, so just adjust accordingly lo. Find a common ground and build from there. If not its not going to be easy to work until midnight everyday. Guys are expected to be the "gentleman" type. The maid thingy cannot avoid la if you are the youngest male there. Feedback for KPI on the balance le if you get my drill

For some reason, the females in my team are more open of those stuffs than me, so kinda weird.

Haiyo who haven't gone through the "ragging" as juniors. Trust me once they hand out responsibilities, you wish you can go back to the photocopy machines. Imagine that company got over > 100 subs. Moving the box of files is absolute nightmare.

Welcome to my world

Wanna join me to work in a beautiful sunday morning ?
I like the BBQ party at friday though. Too bad its drizzling.

Lol, cannot stop laughing when I saw this.

Life is cruel especially at the top.
If a junior cannot sustain such a beating then can forget about making it to the top. Sounds harsh but its fair.
The senior will also be assessed on their leasdership and coaching skill but that doesnt justify that the junior can too.
Making mistakes are extremely normal, its expected. But bouncing back from mistake requires guts.

What happen if junior > senior ?

How I wish that sentence is true, sigh.......

Hardship allowance is given based on ranks/positions. maybe something like 2xx for junior and 4xx for seniors ????

Tax job normally requires you in office as less travelling is required. In that case transport and accomodation is a major concern. Comes to tax, I think Deloitte is the best in Malaysia.

No one is celebrating post group reporting signage ? What a shame

Cool. Normally is just 3 pages.

I am still rooting for outstation jobs, missed the time staying at those hotels.

AA1 = Join / 0
AA2 = 1
S1 = 2
S2 = 3
S3/AM = 4
M = 5

Minimum 5 years to be manager unless you double promote.

Got a lot of auditing skills but I think should be DEALING and ANALYSIS. You need to be good in networking and capable to talk to different people. Auditors normally interview finance managers or at best CFOs. But consultants can range from CEOs to Datuks. Analysis skills is to help back up your communication skills. Cannot simply talk crap right ?

Not a lot, but the goods ones are not easy to get into like Bain, BCG, McKinsey,.....etc. Can wiki them I guess. I heard their junior paid in USD. Its like triple compared to auditors.

Acca membership I dont think consultant will help, cos its either finance, law or business related, hardly about accounting. I think it will be at much slower rate though. I never heard a management consultant company with ACCA recognition. If you really want a good qualification, think of MBA.
Actually comes to consulting, what they really want is jack of all trades rather than speciallist. Accountant / auditor strikes me more to speciallist type. Of course its just a general stereotype as everyone will not subject to similar treatment.

Emmm, this really depends. But what I generally heard that freshie that joins advisory have very slow learning curve. Sooner or later they will be thrown to audit to learn some stuffs. But this highly depend on which advisory you join. Some have peak periods while some remain constant. But I heard best to join consultancy or advisory after few years of external experience. Thats why you can hear people without business background to become advisors such as doctors, engineers, lawyers,.....etc. Bcos they can advise based on the field of experience.

The transferable skill ai mentioned is only those I think will be most relevant. Of course, I think among all fields, you will learn the most in audit as a freshie which you need to know almost everything out of something. From there you can build you niche, some like to be problem solving auditor, some professional analytical auditor while some just action packed gung ho style.
