yup big 4 salary for fresh grad is above 2k, except deloitte.. i think slightly below? .. need someone to confirm this.. pls also look at the experience u'll gain instead of the pay u will get..
with the workload, the pay is not justifiable.. u'll feel that u r underpaid.. hehehe |

QUOTE(aida^146 @ May 5 2006, 11:45 AM) nope...not PWC...but in a medium firm....AFTAAS...in KL...just got a call from them this morning....i manage to secure a place.... oohh.. medium firm also so demanding ar the interview? lol congrats girl!.. i thought u PwC, if u r we can go lunch together gehter be starting work next coming monday..... QUOTE(aida^146 @ May 5 2006, 12:55 PM) big 4 in Malaysia n internationally...it is the same anywhere in the world... PWC, Delloitte, KPMG n EY... uhmm not same.. i think BDO in malaysia is bigger than delloite.. DKC in malaysia is quite bad.. i think they focus more on consultancy jobs here.. haha.. QUOTE(aida^146 @ May 5 2006, 05:14 PM) if i'm not mistaken, among the Big 4, the 1st position goes to PWC....however, i might be wrong.... this will differ according to countries/region.. US is dominated by Delloite, UK by KPMG if i'm not mistaken.. but the most important one is Malaysia, we r dominated by PwC.. so different country got different positioning.. plus what type of 1st are we looking ar? in terms of size? turnover? employees? client's profile? it's very subjective QUOTE(aida^146 @ May 5 2006, 05:23 PM) lucky i got that rite....if not, 'malu' for being an account student... lol...but wat 'bout the salary? do they differ. a lot? |
