but i m applying for audit?

in fact i just checked, they not hiring fresh grad AA

LOL sad, audit line in M'sia no more Big4, become Big3 already..

yup. i think only big 3 got their monthly recruitment.

i am pretty much gave up on big 3.

cause my extra-curriculum participation might be abit lacking, but i do have decent academic performance tho

I m not sure about big4.

Mid tier hiring process is

1) HR filter candidates
2) proposed candidates to Principal/ Senior Manager to shortlist(make sure you look good in your submitted photo)
3) Called for 1st Interview for questionair and pre-interview... Questionair testing your IQ and EQ rather than technical. Interview test knowledge (AA should be basic understanding only.
4) Shortlist for 2nd interview and offer. Usually if you get the 2nd call. you are just left with the nego $$ part only
Most will test your resolute by offering Rm100 lesser than asking price... haha... if you stand strong on not reducing.. kiss goodbye..
Rather than stand strong.. a different approach is asking what is the career path.. how fast is the promotion... the process and the increment rate... to show your "passion"

ey now only has few intake periods if not mistaken.

do not give up searching.

Haha.. then the self acclaimed No.5 how??

so actually who is the 5th? BDO / GT?

LOL sorry to say those 2 aren't even comparable...

Atleast thats the case in Malaysia alone.

I'm all ears

BDO la.. http://www.bdo.my/

WE BELIEVE AND TAKE PRIDE IN PROVIDING OUR CLIENTS WITH ONLY THE BEST IN TERMS OF PROFESSIONALISM AND SERVICES.
BDO in Malaysia is a member firm of BDO International, the world's fifth largest network of professional firms providing audit, advisory and tax services to businesses ranging from established multinational conglomerates to growth-oriented organisations, whether public or private. With 1,204 offices in 138 countries, BDO International employs over 54,933 partners and staff generating a worldwide fee income of US$ 6.015 billion in 2012.

that's BDO punchline.

As for GT, they pride themselves to be the fastest GROWING.

for me.. the bigger will have more politics and fractions..

Need to handle the file pushing Manager, the busybody HR, the documents always lost Admin, the demanding Client, the back stabbing colleague, the head climbing colleague, the stingy partner, the laughing with dagger director... and many more just to name a few..

Hahaha, seems like u've been in there before...

Shhh... U scaring people away lar...

Been there... fought most of the battle.. win some... lost some.. and still surviving!.. hahaha

Btw.. mind disclosing if you are still in the industry? position? Big / Mid / Small firm curently in?

BDO got acting supervisor position?

Not in BDO for sure... in future.. who knows... hahaha

i m not sure if i should ask this here.

since I m only a degree graduate, i intend to start ACCA part time this coming January. my degree exempted 9 fundamentals paper, so i still got 5 papers to go, intend to do 1 paper/semester.

so estimate 2.5 years to 3 years to complete the 5 papers. what concern me now is that i am aware that ACCA membership requires 36 months of working experience before you can apply. and if i m not wrong, if you part time study while working in big 4 allows u to include them in your 36 months working experience. do this applies to those mid-tier firms also? and how bout those small firms? or do i need to work for another 36months after i complete all the 5 papers?


appreciate if anyone can share some insights with me, cause i dont know anyone who know about this.

http://www2.accaglobal.com/documents/appro...mployer_mh1.pdf

and from this list, actually what is it for? those that need to get the 36months experience must work in this list?

the months u working while you studying ACCA counts towards the PER

however the 36 months requirement is the minimum requirement

and they might need you to work extra if your employer is not platinum / gold approved employer

correct me if I'm wrong

thank you.

cause i see not all of the medium firm stated in the 1st page of this thread belongs to the platinum/gold or even silver employer. so i was worried bout the working experience requirement.

i just get offer from mazars, anyone can tell me how mazars environment?seem the workload in mazars is more than other mid term audit firm.
