QUOTE(Nomad_mercenary @ Feb 16 2011, 06:39 PM) In terms of reputation, EY hands down. Thanks for the info. I understand reputation from a well-known firm has more advantage over the less-familiar ones. But still, Crowe Horwath is also an international firm. But, will there be any differences in the benefits for their employees or the learning process in the firm? If you plan to go to the commercial line, they will definitely discount your experience, coz "you're not from a Big 4". Within EY/PwC, plenty of non-big 4 who come in so that they can say they have Big 4 experience. Whether the added prestige is perceived or not, well, that's not the point, if potential employer wants something on your resume, you better have it to have at least a fighting chance. Goodluck! Of course, money is what matters most. Which has a higher pay? This post has been edited by caspertan: Feb 16 2011, 08:39 PM |

QUOTE(Nomad_mercenary @ Feb 16 2011, 08:47 PM) Learning process depends on your luck I'd say, depending on your superior (either senior or manager or above). Thanks again for all the explanations. I understand the benefits though, endless OT and treated like ants. LOL!! Some seniors throw juniors a file and ask to re-perform like last year's work; others sit down and coach. Benefits-wise = generally there aren't many in an accounting firm LOL...no matter which one you end up choosing Pay-wise = If I'm not wrong, the likes of BDO et al pay a bit of a premium but, like I mentioned before, if longer term you are looking to move into commercial, non-big 4 experience gets discounted. a LOT. starting pay EY is RM2700, BDO is RM2.8k/RM2.9k if I'm not mistaken, Crowe Horwarth I wouldn't know. I'd advocate a longer term view; what is RM100 or RM200 extra/mth compared to increased bargaining power in the future... I know Big4 is a very good opportunity whether in present term or future term. The thing is I got called for an interview by both of this firm. The main problem is that I have 2 subjects which is still pending for result. Crowe Horwath called in for an interview, but EY only need the industrial training result (which is the subjects and module) in order for me to have an interview and which is a 100% must on the result. A big headache for me. I need to call my uni tomorrow to ask them to process the result faster. Before I got the call from EY, I was happy with CH, since I got the interview with an international firm. And more important is how do I tackle with the interview? I know it's not easy. |

QUOTE(andrienne @ Feb 17 2011, 07:41 AM) When I was interviewed, my official results were not with me (still not with me now..gotta wait till september I'm applying for audit associate. All in JB branch though. I'm not worried bout CH since I got the interview. What I'm worried is that, EY won't interview me unless that I have the final 2 subjects result. I've asked them if they could give me an interview first or something then I show them after a couple of weeks (results will be out by then). Still waiting for replies though.Thanks. And, what if I do get the job in CH and the interview with EY is after that. I think it would be a waste not to try for EY's interview. Advices anyone? How do I choose? I'm worried that I failed in EY's interview and I'd lose the CH job offer too in the end. This post has been edited by caspertan: Feb 17 2011, 03:28 PM |
