Hey! I just sat for my ACCA optional papers and was recently offered a conditional job offer pending on my results by PWC and EY. I'm currently torn between both.

I personally prefer consumer product/services line, which I highlighted in my CV and during interviews. If I join PWC, I'll only know which industry line I get into once I start work. But I was interviewed by a manager from CIPS, not sure if that indicated anything.

Meanwhile I've been offered a position in EY's REC department. I've been told there's not much difference between the industry line, as only Financial Services is really specialised.

Is there anyone who is familiar with EY's REC department? I only have friends in FS/Services so I'm not too sure about REC.

If any of you have any input on which place is best to launch my career, I'm more than happy to hear your honest opinion.

Thank you. smile.gif

Hahaha ironically CIPS and REC are more in common than you think. In both CIPS and REC the core clients are property clients (in CIPS case it's Sime Properties) and for REC (as it's name suggest real estate and construction). SO personally, both is about the same.

I say given your timing of joining I think go for EY would be better. PwC always late at salary adjustments and all smile.gif

to work in Big4, must be good in papers. 3 pointers at least...even the 3 pointers don't have the good command of english, they probably wouldn't care...even Band 4 for MUET considered low..yes offense

I doubt 3. CGPA is all too necessary if you can back it up with a good EC and work experience. Got in with <2.5.

As long as you ace the interview you'll be fine. I didn't finish the assessment due to lack of time but it didn't change the outcome smile.gif

Don't you guys find it scary to go home late at night? Especially when you have to pick up your car in the car park. That place is prone to car thieves/rapists at night shocking.gif unless u know there's Batman around.

If I know I'm staying back I'll re park my car.

Plus there are midnight shows going on in the cinema. But I doubt I would want to stay that late

depends on how your team's work culture is....for me i don't really mind if work can be done at home e.g. documentation and whatnot. at the end of the day, as long as the work gets done

Ah that'd be really great. I'm the one who has to get back home before sunset LOL those crime cases are like ghost stories they scare me to the max. I'm always with someone when I go out at night in Malaysia. It's weird though I don't have this fear at all in Oz probably I heard too many crime stories happening in KL.

Hahaha, yeah. Just take the relevant safety precautions and you'll be fine. Repark your car, don't work alone (besides if you wanna work alone you might as well go home, or go find starbucks or some nice chillaxed cafe somewhere)

Generally, yes, but not all the time (especially during key dates). I can be very lenient initially, but I mentally keep notes of a person's progress. If that person is obviously not working as fast as he/she should, I'll make a bit of noise. And if it doesnt work, I'll jsut escalates it upward that this associate is not performing, and will be reflected accordingly. I am nice to people whom I find to be competent, but really strict to the rest.

Call me biased, but it's how I manage. If you don't deserve the free rein, you don't get it.
