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.

hi, sorry but I'm quite new here, I been offered a management trainee position by a MNC company, quite good, but salary is not that attractive, 2.4k, is it negotiable in some way? and usually company does provide what types of benefits? thanks!

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.

What do you guys think of this offer?

Well, perhaps not a specific challenge that I face, but in general what Rewards team face.

1) Sensitivity to data - we deal in one of the most sensitive area (especially in Asia) of a workplace, your compensation. Rewards team gets access to everyone's pay data so it is crucial that they understand the importance that role and be able to keep it confidential. You won't believe how many people do try and tease out details such as how much bonus they can expect, and we have had odd cases where a spouse had called the Rewards team to try to find out how much bonus his/her partner got because they think some cheating is going on.

2) Availability of data - Pay data is hard to get at times. While you have compensation surveys around, you can face challenges in verifying those details and for some positions, no one is willing to share those details. Even between your internal counterparts, some might be hesitant to share data simply because it is sensitive in their view.

3) Reconciling what we say and what we do - In a way, I'm lucky to have spend most of my young career in areas which takes a real concern in the area of remuneration and benefits. Many large organisation (including some of the listed companies) takes HR as a largely administrative function of no value, I have gone to interviews where the organisation was just starting a rewards team and the role offered was to create and head such a team, yet they were only willing to pay my current salary.

Many organisation still doesn't see that their human capital is the most valuable asset they have and how much hidden losses they occur because they didn't bother to implement proper structures on hiring, rewarding, training and retaining talents because they were far too focus on products.

So, while it is easy for anyone to blurt out how important their people is to the organisation, getting them to really believing in that mantra and carry out initiatives that supports that mantra is really hard.

Definitely. I know some of the department heads that holds engineering degrees, some are MBA holders and you can also see some of the CEO of large companies have held some HR roles in the past. HR is more than just mere administrative, as companies begin to invest in talents, you can see some strategic functions (i.e Rewards, Talent Management, etc) popping up that requires very different skillset than the traditional HR functions.

Good.

2.6k is reasonable for diploma holder but will they hire?

Yes... you are overpaid.
In fact MNC won't pay that much now.
