Hi guys,
I need some advice as I am facing a dilemma
I have worked in a small audit firm for 3 years and had recently completed all my ACCA exams (currently an ACCA affiliate) and waiting for the approval of my ACCA membership. I am planning to leave the firm on December but am not sure how the big-tier firm or the mid-tier firm will offer and what post should I apply for (AA2? SA1, SA2?) as I heard my experience will be significantly discounted. If it is true that I will be offered AA1, I think I shall go to commercial after the approval of my acca membership.
I need the advice from the sifus here.....

QUOTE(Gagaloo @ Nov 5 2015, 08:27 PM) so if 2-3 days no respond from them that means I'm not shortlisted for the interview?  or will they inform me also if I'm not shortlisted. anyway let say i did got shortlisted, can anyone help me with this: what kind of Tax related question are they gonna ask? it has been 3 years since i last took Taxation subject at school, and I only achieved B+, will that affect the interviewer's perception of me in any way? or will they just judge me on how well i present my self? thanks. Nothing too technical unless you are coming in as experience hire.

Interview takes an important factor whether will your experience get discounted or not. |

QUOTE(Gagaloo @ Nov 5 2015, 08:03 AM) Hi all, I just got a call from PWC for a position there, the person asked me a few questions and explained to me about the job scope, but then she said she'll pass my resume to the management and will call back if I'm shortlisted for the interview. usually how long will it take for them to inform whether or not I'm shortlisted for interview? What department you applied for?? |

I know the pay scale well enough to know juniors make penny on the dollar. QUOTE(coppycop @ Nov 6 2015, 12:31 PM) huge gap. Are u sure ? Junior, senior not much diff la ( 1k or so at most only. Maybe for people it's big difference la lol) Once you're AM / M level, can see a bit of difference la. Side note : plenty of pretty girls in audit. Good reason to take a paycut This post has been edited by chiahau: Nov 6 2015, 12:42 PM |
