Question is, are you getting any better offers elsewhere?
Unless you do have other offers, I advise you to embrace the fact that we all have to pay our dues one way or the other.

And no one here will have the ultimate answer regarding switching departments, give the HR rep a ring as soon as possible.

they want answers on a date before i could go interview with other firms. dats y im juz asking

Like wat sysh says. In this times of economic crisis better secure a job when you have the chance.
Better to work than to risk it to get nothing at all
When you're gonna graduate?

I also applied to deloitte, until now oso no reply, perhaps they are waiting to interview ppl in batches?

Share a fren's experience, he applied to PWC in November, only was interviewed in January.
And better, he starts working only in March..

So perhaps Big4 prefers to obtain ppl in batches lorh...hehe.

Haha. You went for the interview already?when?

I went for a few interviews in the middle sized firms, this was after heeding advice that it might b better to start w these firms instead of the Big4...hehe.

I'm starting work tmr w a middle sized firm ad..

how about intel?

Yes. I agree starting with small/medium firms can learn a lot also
Deloitte didnt call you for interview yet?
They call me after i applied for 1 month+

They didn't call yet...but then again, i only applied in mid January, maybe that's why i haven't gotten a call.

i've seen alot of new faces in deloitte. anyone from here?

Hi all.

I have an interview with KPMG on this week. Anyone care to share some tips on the interview procedures?

Basically mathematics and English test.. Multiple Choice Questions. I think total its like 40-50 minutes

Then essay.. around 20 minutes..

Just make sure u read the questions properly, and with a decent command in english and logical understanding, shouldn't be a problem.

KPMG uses a notebook for ur assessment. So, when time is up, u cannot continue the questions. Manage time properly during assessment!

Come interview, I believe having a good command in spoken english, and some preparation for what to say would be sufficient.

Good luck!

im also going for an interview with KPMG on this thursday for internship purpose. any tips on what they will usually ask in the interview?

In which department did you apply?

Thank you for the tips. Hope I will nail it.

In the Assurance department as Audit Associate.

Good luck to you.
If I'm not mistaken, the topic of the essay is "the hardest decision that you ever had to make, how did you make the decision, the outcomes and so on"
