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.
I started with RM1.5k in KPMG and now earning more than RM140k per annum and FYI, I am still partying in Zouk and occassionally you can see me hanging out at Tom, d*** or Harry in TTDI (so not too old yet!!

). And I have been travelling to countries like New Zealand, Hong Kong, Singapore, Mauritania (North West Africa) and now currently writing this from Pyongyang, DPRK!! All free travelling due to my work with KP. It's all about the question of short term pain and long term gain.
