From most of the advisory freshie collegues, they tell me their job for first few weeks / months is quite relaxing and easy. Its when you reach senior level then work gets interesting. Anyone can correct me I am wrong though  tongue.gif
I'm currently in Advisory. There are no real defined peaks. Really depends on job deadline, as well as if the firm suddenly has an influx of jobs. Also really depends, coz some ppl start really hectic with alot of work. You kind of build 'rep' in Advisory, so the more hardworking/fast learners get picked for jobs quicker.

One time the partner was walking around during a slow period and asked if ppl were utilizing their Annual Leave. XD

Adoi so expensive! My monthly pass starts on 16th and i'll start work on the 7th -.-"

Any kind soul with the rm9 parking per day tickets to let go? I need 7 tickets biggrin.gif

You're in advisory, ya? Talk to the person in charge of HR staffing for the dept. She's helping us all a big favour by buying tickets in wholesale amounts and then breaking them down to sell to the staff. So you can buy straight from her for 7 tickets. Price the same at RM9.

We also work at clients, so..... might not be a good idea to buy the monthly parking. happy.gif;;;

Actually a little surprised. I was under the impression that the firms are in dire need of audit associates now. Usually first class is a golden ticket into PwC (A friend who got first class got in without the whole interview process. O_o;;;)

I'd suspect that how you present your CV and cover letter plays a major part; usage of grammar and how you express yourself counts for the position.

andrienne, I won't be your senior per say, coz tax advisory and performance advisory are under different structure/partners. Different floors as well. wink.gif

Haih. Manager just conveniently told me that they are going to burn 2 weeks of my AL.

My previous manager verbally agreed beforehand to let me use 1 week, and at the middle of the project said that he couldn't let me go due to the extended deadline. And my next project begins immediately after the first one ends, which is also another tight deadline project that will end in January.

There goes two weeks of AL, and one week of TOIL which I got while working over Hari Raya + Merdeka hols.

Lesson learnt. Your managers can be like two headed snakes........

Hi, I'm planning to apply for advisory job in big 4. Which co is the best in terms of exposure and opportunity?

I have 2+ years of working experience - 1 year in a small commercial firm and 1+ year in shared service center. Do I go into big 4 as a fresh grad or experienced worker?

And may I know how much is the pay now?

It'll depend during the job interview. I know ppl who got 'discounted', and people who didn't.
