Anyone can share EY TCE working culture and client type. By the way, how many years EY bond their staff for ACCA sponsor (3 years or 4 years).

Dats y I am not in audit anymore. I dun like the new person I am turning into.

Can someone enlighten bout the closing date for job application for each of the firm?

Throughout the year. You can sent in your resume (EY and deloitte) or apply through their online application system(PwC and KPMG) anytime.

Dear all,

Smth to ask here..im a fresh grad with 2nd upper in commerce.
Do i qualified to apply in PWC?? is their requirement high??

Emm highly depends whether you are working under a she or he. Acca = 3 years. TCE is basicly a rojak industry. The 3 biggest client makes up the T.C.E name.

60/40 when the rest of the sister firms in the region pays 100% is rubbish. So much for regional management.

The salary revision and peak allowance is nice, particularly for junior staff, but I doubt it will be significant to make you change your mind about leaving if you want to leave. Will it be easy to claim the peak allowance? Right now AABS staff already have problems claiming overtime and meal allowances as it is.

Interestingly, I heard fresh new joiners are getting close to 3k in EY/KPMG. Anyone can confirm these hearsays?

as i know, in kl-ey is offer rm2450 for fresh gradutes
while deloitee offer rm2500 for fresh gradutes for degree holder

The last batch that joined was RM2450. But I heard there is a salary revision underway, actual quantum not confirmed yet.

Maybe the RM3K batch are those with professional qualifications?

how about IBM salary range for Fresh Grad?

if have 5 year experince in small firm for tax do you guy think those big will to pay 3k

Sure why not. But why want to waste ur life further?

guys, what is the interview process for BDO?
any test included?
is there particular things i should be notice before i go interview at BDO?

Depends largely on how you negotiate your package and how you 'sell' your experience.

The number of years of service is not a real indication of experience. For example, I once worked with an employee that had 4 yrs experience in Labuan tax who could not handle even the most basic of tax computations outside of Labuan legislation.

Typically, Big 4 firms try to discount your experience from small/medium firms as "inadequate" and offer you a salary below their internal band, or at the lower end of the band. I've seen people who are more senior than me come in with below average salaries because they are not from Big 4 firms. They think very highly of themselves whether its justified or not.

When I talk about "experience", I don't mean just your experience doing tax comps, but your experience in other fields of tax work (i.e. advisory, appeals, audit negotiations, etc) and your experience managing staff (I assume with 5 years service you should be a senior level employee already).

You should check what is the market rate for your level of experience in Big 4, and negotiate from there. How much you secure depends on how valuable they think your experience will be, and how well you negotiate.

definitely more than 2450 at KPMG but I don't think it is considered close to 3k yet not to me anyway

More than 2450, less than 3k in KPMG for freshies. Can only confirm final figures once payslip is out but definitely there is a revision of salary starting 2011. PwC didn't revise is it?

I heard EY pay high bonus !

I thought labuan tax is either Rm20000 or 3% of audited net profit whichever is lower ? Dont know about all la but sound straight forward to me compared to MYS tax. Of course its harder for them to convert into MYS tax.

Meal allowance is easy to claim and approved but just adequate.
OT is easy to claim but on the part of approval, highly depends on the booking schedule and the engagement.

So when are you jumping over to SG?
The drought will only get worse.
