there is no point learnt lots, you work to make much money. BNM will give you money and connection.

work smarter than harder.

many ppl join KPMG but after 1year they realise its the biggest mistake in their life. audit firm in msia = modern day slavery.

KPMG is part of the Big4 hence its the place where young hotshots like to flock. But do not be tempt by just the name and glamour, if you are willing to go all out to work (with gung ho & enthusiasm) then by all means please enter KPMG.

If not then I will think Bank Negara will be a better choice, and make no mistake its not easy to get admission too as many would believe as working in elite government body like bank negara, EPF and securities commission is no childs play especially at advance level (Ie : Corporate finance)

I've got friends in KPMG and PWC... also got friends in Bank Negara..
I'd say that though KPMG's a very reputable accounting firm, thats all it is and thats all it will ever be-- just an accounting firm.

And we all know that Accountants get paid peanuts for alot alot of work. something like 2.3k with increments of 100-200 a year. bonuses are crap too.. something like 1-2 months.

however, the experience you will get from working at KPMG will be very valuable. Banks love auditors and accountants from KPMG. your career prospects will be good. just make sure u dont stay with an accounting firm for too long.

Bank negara on the other hand, has so many  different departments ... if you get into something good like treasury or something, you will expect fantastic bonuses ... 6-7 months if unlucky, 12months+ if you are lucky. roughly lah ,....do well in your job, and you might get a chance to sit for different exams and licenses.. which will increase your paygrade by 700 like that. again, those are for treasury positions.

It's not that impressive in case you didn't realise it. Based on your starting salary, you are probably in your mid 30s to 40s. 140k is just average.

Going into audit for salary is probably one of the worst reasons ever. There are jobs that pay way better, isn't that much harder to enter, and has shorter hours.

It's already an understatement and I never said it's impressive.  Anyhow, if you average out the hours in audit, it's short as ppl tend to forget about the offpeak seasons...
