In oversea (especially western countries), auditing is purely audit work.
In Malaysia, auditing is audit + everything else. Just see how we treat our maid you will get a rough idea.

Hi, I need some advices from seniors here.

Im fresh graduate, is it good to start work in a small or medium audit firm for about 1 year first before applying a job in big 4s or straight away apply a job in big 4s? This is because I want to get some exposures on how the audit works actually like since I dont hav intern program in my degree course. Through this, I think the experience will help me to mentally n physically prepared for the works in big 4s.
Thanks in advance for the advices.
*
No need to waste time, just apply to Big 4 straight to gain your 'mental and physical preparation'.

No such thing, I applied even before sitting my degree's final exams. Got the offer before my results is out. The offer is mostly standard, but you'll get around rm200 more if you have finished your professional exams or in the case of my friend, got offered rm200 more because she had first class honours.

You're not having that doesn't mean it's not happening.

WTA, what are the possible ways to submit CVs for employment?

I mean is it necessary to be in hard copy or is it possible to send my soft copy to them instead?
I know that PWC is accepting soft copy via their webpage, how about others?

Kindly refer to respective firm's webiste. Google is your friend.

Life is cruel especially at the top.
If a junior cannot sustain such a beating then can forget about making it to the top. Sounds harsh but its fair.
The senior will also be assessed on their leasdership and coaching skill but that doesnt justify that the junior can too.
Making mistakes are extremely normal, its expected. But bouncing back from mistake requires guts.

I know you're experienced and at the top. But there's no need to be like that one. That's why I'm disgust with the culture of certain firms.

No need to exert power that way one!

Chocked myself X2.

Pls go back to college and learn to differentiate 'financial statements' and 'auditor's report'.

And pls don't tell me u work in a Big 4 firm. Utter disgrace. Period.

Many of the questions regarding bout employment and application in Big4 can be boiled down to the basic economic concept: demand and supply.

How long it usually takes to reply your application?
Depends on their quantity demand of labourers, and depends on the quantity supply of labourers to them.

What's the criteria of being employed by Big4? CGPA 3.66 can ah?
Depends on the demand and supply. If they don't need any demand, why must they hire you? If there are plenty of people who are higher than you, why must they hire you?

Is CGPA 2.5 considered too low to join Big4?
Depends on their demand and supply. If they need any Tom, d*** & Harry who are willing to work, no problem. Timing must be right to see whether their demand meets your supply.

Are the interviewer's questions hard? How should I answer them?
It boils down to demand and supply. If they need people, no matter how hard the questions are, and no matter how lousy you answer is, so long your supply meets their demand, no problem. That's why HR doesn't really tell you how you performed during your interview or whatever just-for-show test.

I think everything boils down to "demand and supply". Don't bother what those HR said. They crap out of a reason just like how we write our analytical review.

Well said. So, stop asking and start applying. Asking won't land u a job, but applying does.
