Depends on your luck and the traffic that day. The Bangsar station is a very popular stop, and there are a lot of ppl taking that bus to go to HELP college and Immigration as well.

I would say 30 - 45 min from the time you get on the bus to reach EY. Going back to station is faster because Pusat Bandar Damansara is the last stop. If you take the bus, I suggest you get off at the Esso station opposite Pusat Bandar Damansara, and walk about 5-10min to EY. It saves you the waiting time of the bus going to Jalan Dungun and coming back out again.

If you want to go home also I think its best to catch the bus at Esso also because the stop in front of EY damn lot of ppl wan de.

Please buy a car la especially join audit division. I drive highway everyday to reach my client. If you are a girl maybe can ding dong here and there la but a guy is expected to drive well (and fast).

Yup BDO is just 5 or less than 5 minutes from Star LRT station.

For horwath, you can take Putra LRT and exit at KLCC station. Walking distance about 10mins i guess.

A car is actually depends, do inform the interviewer that you doesn't posses a car. You can always follow your seniors car, but get ready for Overtime!!

Thank you for the information provided.I will apply from next week onwards.....Hope that I can get the job.

Its depend.

Some of the firms practice quarter intake but some not.

So it is hard to tell how long it takes for them to contact you, or may be you are not shortlisted.

then it is means i should accept horwarth offer?

Well that's decision lies on you

i'm just worried if i accept it later they call me to interview no time for interview anymore..

Not every one can afford a car when they first start work

My advice for those who want to join audit but with no car. Do not too bother about car if you are joining the following firms:-
Mazars & Howarth (KLCC area)
Public transport: Putra LRT KLCC station & Walk
Nearest place of stay and duration: Wangsa Maju approx 30-40mins travel time

Deloitte (Damansara Uptown)
Public transport: Bus & Walk
Nearest place of stay: Damansara Uptown approx 5-15mins walk. Stay near office lor...

KPMG (Wisma KPMG Bandar Utama)
Public transport: Feeder bus from taman bahagia to One Utama or public bus and walk
Nearest place of stay: Bandar Utama area approx 10-15 mins walk (find place nearer to office lor)

PWC & BDO are near to STAR LRT and they are many choices of place to stay around Cheras and Ampang Area. Travelling time depending on your place of stay.

EY is the most inconvenient place with only feeder & public bus connecting to it. I don't think you will want to stay around there as the rental is going to be your 1 month salary (Damansara Heights)... LOL....

It is not true that you must own a car to be an auditor. Normally you will only stay back for bigger job and you will have a team of colleagues. I am very sure they can tumpang you to the nearest station all the time and senior and manager should be understanding. Unless if they required you to stay, they will be colleagues who should be able to send you home. You are from outstation, they will understand.

Get a car only when you feel you are comfortable.

I used to carpool with my senior and team members V^^

But of course, if you have to one-man-show the audit like today, you will need to sort out your after hours transport if you don't drive. "I don't have transport" is not a valid excuse for not being able to work late lol.

But remember, manager will assign you job based on employee resources. I will get solo job which is not too far and hard to reach. At least you can take taxi and rest assured you will not need to stay pass midnight. Small client which only need 1 auditor to audit will not do that and the audit firm will not approve your OT also as fees charge will not be low.

Minor amendment
Duration from Wangsa Maju to KLCC via Putra LRT approximately 20-25mins will do =)
40mins you shall be able to reach Taman Universiti or few stations away from Kelana Jaya
