I feel like struck in the second line manager level right now and I would like to stay in practices and hope that if there is chances for me to own a practice? maybe.

yup. I got the job offer as associate, but I noticed that I will missed the current year promotion cycle if I join now. As HR said, this is highly unlikely to promote me to senior associate in coming July or Dec. Which means that only can wait until next July which I need to stay as associate level for more than one year.

If you've decided to join audit, the earlier you join the better. Easier for you to build visibility and get the necessary support. When you get promoted doesnt matter as much.

If its not firm, then look elsewhere ba.

Just wondering for those working in the tax department in the Big4, are you always being monitored when you are doing work in the office? As in, your manager will discreetly stand behind you and check what u r doing?

Hi all, i am fresh graduate in commerce accounting degree.
I am looking forward to enter into financial sector(investment), but I dont have much knowledge regarding financial sector as my degree is more focus on auditing and accounting.
I intended to work as auditor in Big4(hopefully) while taking CFA qualification paper.
Then maybe in few years time jump to bank sector. Or do you guys have any recommendation for me to foster my knowledge in financial or investment field ?
Kinda lost after complete my degree.. any advice will be appreaciated o.o

if you're independent staff .. i think the superiors will not monitor you

unless you're those check fb .. play with phone ... chat via messenger during working hours .. u might feel it

Do you have any interest in shares? Lowyat's Finance section is a good place to start to develop some knowledge of finance and investment

Hello fellow accountants! Could anyone care to shed some light about Transfer Pricing? I would like to know about pros and cons doing TP, how is it like to work in TP and the career progression.

All I know about TP is the work of financial analysis and fund transfer within an organization. Thank you very much

No la. Free to do anything i want. Just get the job done

Agreed with this. Dono why ey only have a review each year. Their appraisal is in June. So if u joined in Jan u r stuck for a year and half.

if you join before April ... still can be promoted .. cut off is April

Coming from a potential boss of EY, I sure belip jew

Hi guys, I'm a fresh graduate (Bachelor of Business: Accounting) with a third class degree. I am just wondering if any big four or mid tier firms will even consider me. Guess I've failed in life. But I really want to join mid tier or big four firms so badly. Guess should have work harder

Get a professional qualification and work harder in life.

Don't just give up coz you got a crappy degree.

Is possible to give it a shot to apply to the big four or mid tier firms. Probably they won't bother to even look at my resume anyways

no harm trying to submit ur resume in.. u will never know luck is on your side..

Guess I'll just give it a shot. Chances will be low. But then like what you said no harm trying tho.

Write in already? Write in and try... or at least join a mid tier first and jump ship after u at least achieve senior title

Havent. Just that the feeling of disappointment got me all moody and stuff. Probably they wont even bother looking at my resume tho but like what everyone said no harm trying so gotta do what I gotta do which is to submit the resume. But then no point crying over spilt milk so can only blame myself for not working my ass off for my studies previously

Have u worked as intern before? Will help at some point.
