I'd be happy to do things on my own, as long as no one complains about how I do it

Unfortunately, I report to at least 5 different seniors, and they each have their own way of doing things... If I don't clarify with them on how they want the work to be done and do it my way, i get scolded and have to redo it, thus spending more time on a simple job

This is very common in the working world, not just for the Big 4 and you just gotta play it smart. Be sure to remember and if needed, take notes/mental reminder on which style for which senior to make your own life easier. Consult other Associates that have been there longer about the Do's and Don't's for the seniors you're reporting to. It's not easy to be done at the first place but try to make it a point to notice the small things as it could make your life a lot easier. Even if you plan to go commercial next time, the same thing will happen allover again.

Is PWC hiring for Advisory line ? =X =X =X

Hi guys! I was called to attend an interview for internship at deloitte. Anyone knows how's the interview gonna be like?

Hi, everyone got their "hardship allowances" yet? What the range like, from junior to senior? Just curious..

lol i dont think that info will be shared here

Just curious, which field is better for a fresh grad / partial grad?

Associate in Performance Improvement in the Advisory Dept or Audit Assistant in Audit Services in the Assurance Dept?

Hardship allowance? Which firm offers it?

All the Big 4 if I'm not mistaken..

Er, can i ask how do they reward "hardship allowances" ?

Different firms have different practices wor. Basically they just pay you extra allowance for the peak period to compensate your hard works.

PWC Penang will take how long to process our resume? Actually after 1 week of submiting my resume, KL PWC call me to ask the reason of leaving one of big 4, but until now (nearly 2 weeks from that call) still do not contact me for further action, is it no hope?

My friend in PwC said the hardship allowance is RM200.

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

Rm600 in EY to be paid in April for months Jan-April (so they'll get RM2.4k in april itself for seniors)
RM500 in PwC to be paid monthly, each month (RM2k in total)

What about Deloitte and KPMG??

Big4 auditors work until can die lah...

did you note down the person that had called you? maybe you can drop them an email or a call and check on your status?

not so sure about these two Big 4s, aint have much friend from these firms. however, thanatos is a reliable source of information regarding on-goings in PwC and EY

so sad, i din note down. thank you so much, plan to email them soon.

Anyone knows how much is the pay for 2-3 years working in Big 4, can they reach 5k?
