It is sad to say my CGPA is below 2.7. It is a degree from UTAR. I was desperate to join an audit firm because I think it will be a good exposure for me plus audit experience is valued by employers in commercial industries.
I felt lucky I was offered a position in this firm. Now, I feel like crap. The boss is stingy as hell and very VERY demanding. She do not care if you die as long as you get the job done within the tightest budget EVAR. Then everyday she will ask all the auditors to assemble in front of her so she can add more senseless procedures that are redundant so that we can fit them in into our tight time budget. When we never finish the work on time, we have stay after office hours (no OT incentives). I will never ever be able to meet her deadline without skimping on some procedures. This make me feel miserable. I am just spitting out audited reports with no quality whatsoever. I do not feel proud and I gain 0 sense of accomplishment.
I had worked in McDonalds, Sushi King and hotel assistant before. Nothing ever come close to this job in terms of making my body and soul numb. No wonder the turnover rate is 1staff/3months. If I leave too early, I am afraid my resume will be tainted. I need to brace myself for another daunting year....sigh. I guess.... this is the only way I can make up for being a loser in uni.
Ahhh...tomorrow work again. Tired...very tired.

im in audit line for 4+ years as well. now doing advisory . im grad from UPM.
ur result is not good, tat y u cannot get bigger firm, big firm starting pay at least 2.5k
normally small firm not required to work long time, my wife work in small firm audit 5+ years, starting salary oso low like you. but she not required to work long time. unlike me, work in bigger firm, so always OT and work on weekend, but I deserve it as my pay is high.
I think you better quit this job and get other bigger firm audit. no doubt most of the account graduate join audit at 1st, and commercial later. but this is not the rules. if u do not like audit, u may try something else. if ur goal is join commercial in future, then u better stay in audit at least 3 years and get ur MIA.
feel free to PM me if u have doubt, I will give u my view on our industry.
