Not so much of being head-hunted. Still have to work hard to secure position in Big 4.

A position in which dept?

Why didnt you enter IB? But chose big4? Can share your reason/insight?

instantly got a reject email from KP, wonder why even with experience in mid tier yet losing out to fresh grad..

It's better to be rejected right away than to receive the rejection email months later (which happened to my friends)

I guess that shows how academic results is still important for someone early in their career.
*
It is.

But sad to say even if being landed with an interview (with good academic results), and not preparing well for it (also subjectively dependent on whether the interviewer accepts your answers or not), we won't be hired. So close yet so far.

But honestly it sometimes depends on a lil luck. Say two candidates are equally good (or maybe the other candidate is perceived as a lil better) but only one is chosen for hiring.

Lindan vs lcw. Both equally good were world no.1 but this round lindan won again maybe he's a lil luckier? Just 2cent. Please don't bash me.

Depends on the firm, I know that EY and PWC even takes into account ur ACCA marks scored and how many attempts rather than just seeing pass or fail.

how sure are you EY and PwC takes into account ACCA marks and how many attempts? That means those with borderline marks and attempted few times cant go into ey and pwc anymore in future?
