hey guys i know this is somehow a stupid question..
went for interview with pwc system and process assurance team.. the feedback i got from the sr manager and manager during interview was pretty good.. sr manager mentioned that i could fit in well in the team based on my characters and experience and the manager agreed as well.. but they still need a week or two to process..
just wondering, what do you guys think of my chances getting the job? and we did not discuss anything bout salary during the interview.. they only ask how long notice do i need to serve and estimation date i could join if i get the offer..

Nobody has advice for me? I guess I will start classes soon and continue trying one more time after acca to see if I have a shot.
*
From my point of view is that an acca qualification is obviously much better a degree qualifications but being an acca holder doesn't secure u a spot in big4 100% but it do increase ur chance compare to a degree holder.. if u got related working experience before applying to big 4 is a plus point

Aight. Thanks Rachel7430. Maybe in the mean time i will try to find a small firm to work in.
*
if u choose to study part time then u can just try mass emailing ur resume to SME or MNC company not necessarily must be a small company.. U might get surprises though.. frankly speaking I did not do well in my degree either, I got a second lower cgpa but I am proud of where I am now, working in a MNC waiting for further news (hopefully a good one based on their response) from one of the big 4 HR.
Anyway if u ask me bout acca stuff I don't know la cos I'm IT background lol.. gud luck!

Well juniors these days damn champion, I dont know how their minds work, but they are a piece of work. Lol.

For example, now is stock take season, when someone emails them informing them they have stocktake on a certain day, they think its some kind of rsvp event and like there is a choice. Lol.

My age gap with them is only like 1-2 years, but how they think is just something. Lol.
*
Don't say u r elder than them 1-2 yrs.. me same age with them also different thinking.. they graduate almost a yr plus later than me(probably they enter public uni n me private uni).. no sense of responsibility.. do work also need spoonfeed everything ask questions where answers are common sense even 1st class student is like dat..

What you deem as common sense might not be actually common sense in work environment.

When you are new, you'll probably ask more and be more cautious instead of being all gung ho and making your own decisions.

Not defending anyone here, but most people I know who are fresh from uni and never held a job before tends to ask a little bit more to prevent making silly mistake.

Give them a time frame ( 2~4 months perhaps ) and I think they will stop asking silly question.
*
I know u r not defending anyone.. i understand that as a 3rd person point of view who didn't go through the situation I did.. smile.gif Just saying from my experience and to me it's a total common sense for a working environment..
give u one example, ppl email you some attachment then u open up that attachment and you know it's not the correct thing that u wanted of cos u clarify with the one who email u the attachment right? But this junior of mine can ask me who to clarify with.. these fresh grads are with the team almost a year now doing same mistake/asking common sense questions over n over again even after being taught.. not only myself feel so.. my team member experiencing the same feeling..
I have went through as a fresh grad before but not the same way as them..
just wanna let it out.. no offense to anyone.. cheers..

sometimes you have to look at the bigger picture rather than monetary gains

but that's me ..

good luck in your career biggrin.gif

Yes was in dilemma before that decision came up plus got commitments.. you can't be forking out ur own savings to go work right.. plus it's going to be more than that later on.. 400-500 plus cut is not that reasonable.. I did go ask around for opinions to help me with my dilemma 7/7 say not worth it and this 7 ppl includes managers n consultant level ppl

Is possible to give it a shot to apply to the big four or mid tier firms. Probably they won't bother to even look at my resume anyways

no harm trying to submit ur resume in.. u will never know luck is on your side..

I guess the only thing to do is don't be choosy and join a small firm or middle tier (might be hard as well was thinking of UHY, PVF, Moore stephens) . Then quickly get ACCA OR other professional qualification to boost own value.

hey dont worry so much bout getting a 3rd class degree.. ur results is just one of the determining point for ur first job only after that its only ur working experience that matters! so join a firm (small, middle, big) where u think u can learn a lot thats what matters.. then with this experience u can use to join big4 later on..

Enter as Junior / Fresh grad.

Even with 3 years working experience in medium firms, they will likely discount your experience based on your exposure.

So if possible, find a firm that is filled with nice people, decent study leaves for you to study and quickly pass your exams.

Once you pass the exams, time for you to make the move to the big 4.

yes agree with u that they will discount ur experience plus salary too!
