QUOTE(shirley_andy @ Jul 2 2013, 11:07 PM) yes as richard mentioned, there's the majority there, BUT I'll advice u to stay away from medium if u want more balance, cuz medium firm people like to speak chinese among themselves, so unable to understand chinese would be a disadvantage unless u're the very engaging type. Cuz when they speak chinese and u don't understand, eventhough its just casual chat, you bound to miss out on a fair share of informal and indirect learning from the seniors and managers. Sad but its the truth. Agree But is good to learn up Mandarin, China is opening up, Many Singaporeans and Malaysian are opening factories and businesses there. And they dont trust China's Chinese. It would be a lucrative job to head the finance dept there; salary report as high as USD3000 - USD20000. Depending on the scale of the project.

EY rejected me through email 2 days after my application. KP applied 3 weeks+ ago, only HR call and confirm details. PWC applied early last week, until now no news also the sad thing is, even BDO,BT,GT and Mazar also not responding.
