Anyone can give the latest salary figure for Audit Assistant in Big 4, fresh grad with australian degree..Thank you~~

compliance work is it very much similar to audit work?..

I heard some rumors about that we cannot enter and get a job offered by Big 4s if had failed in any ACCA paper, it's true?

From most of the advisory freshie collegues, they tell me their job for first few weeks / months is quite relaxing and easy. Its when you reach senior level then work gets interesting. Anyone can correct me I am wrong though 

I'm currently in Advisory. There are no real defined peaks. Really depends on job deadline, as well as if the firm suddenly has an influx of jobs. Also really depends, coz some ppl start really hectic with alot of work. You kind of build 'rep' in Advisory, so the more hardworking/fast learners get picked for jobs quicker.

One time the partner was walking around during a slow period and asked if ppl were utilizing their Annual Leave. XD

That is what I heard too for advisory. The director that interviewed me said that the department is based on project basis and hence there's no defined/usual peak if I were to seek for predictive and highly organized working environment. I don't know what it will be like for freshies in there but I hope I wont screw things up and subsequently ruin my future in the department been reading up a lot and did some major recollection on what I have studied in Uni to avoid looking like an empty shell when work comes calling

Btw, anyone from EY can help me with a questions bout the season parking by secure parking? Applied for secure parking monthly pass and I paid via online right after application but my status is still pending approval. Will they disapprove the application? If I enter the parking without getting the prepayment ticket (the 20 tickets, rm9 a day), what's the maximum charge per day? Many thanks!

First 2 hours RM6, Rm3 per hour after that standard KL parking charges. I hit RM40 before during one peak period last time due to memory lost.

Big4 will still accept if you hold the qualification but of course if you never failed it does help speed up the interview process. If they only accept straight passers, the assurance team will be heavily understaffed. Results aren't everything when comes to work.

Adoi so expensive! My monthly pass starts on 16th and i'll start work on the 7th -.-"

Any kind soul with the rm9 parking per day tickets to let go? I need 7 tickets

You're in advisory, ya? Talk to the person in charge of HR staffing for the dept. She's helping us all a big favour by buying tickets in wholesale amounts and then breaking them down to sell to the staff. So you can buy straight from her for 7 tickets. Price the same at RM9.

We also work at clients, so..... might not be a good idea to buy the monthly parking. ;;;

Tax advisory?

Oh, don't worry. You'll be in office almost full time. =D

Depends which part of BTA you are in though.  If its the CA team, you will be offsite visiting buildings on a project-to-project basis.  If you are in Transaction Tax, you might be out on due diligence reviews quite regularly, again depending on project frequency.

But if you are in ITS or Amarjit's team then you may not be going out of the office too often.
