just want to ask a quick question...i have been through the entire interview process with one of the big 4 for advisory associate position. called up HR for follow up and i was told that my application shouldn't be a problem and is now pending approval from upper authority...just wondering, will there be any possibility that i wouldn't be approved?

thank you for your reply i was a bit worried about the waiting period because i called last monday and it's thursday and they have yet to get back to me.

i was wondering whether to wait for the confirmation or accept the job offer(s) i got now because i would prefer to be in advisory than other dept. sigh....so many things to think of!

i agree with this. the REAL management programs of more established banks (if you're willing to be bonded- big 4 bonds as well for 4 years if they were to pay for your professional certs) are paying out on average rm3k to rm3.5k for probation period and it increases another few hundred after probation period which is not a case in big 4. however, as a fresh graduate, one should not always weight in the salary but the goals and career prospect it could give to u. after all, a handful of people would not be in the same company for the rest of their lives and the first job will be the stepping stone for greater future.

i think he just meant comparing the two lines and not saying try audit first then consulting?

the non cash benefit in big 4 is next to zero LOL

there are quite a handful of partners around. it's not whether they make it to that high (of course it counts la! haha.) or not but a matter of perseverance before you reach that level. most would leave even before reaching senior manager level.

of course the hardwork and talent/material count. just that i assume people understand my meaning only. chill la.
