KPMG has renamed its IRM department to IT Advisory (ITA).

I'm from penang.izit that all BIg 4 are freezing recruitment ? i think penang is seriously affected. i was being informed of the slowing down of recruiment in every interviews. Some firms even no reply , but those that has interviewed are always keeping me under in K.I.V status and said there is no vancancies available but carried out an interview in advance in order to shorlist those potential. by the time any of staff resigned , would call potential candidates to come for 2nd interview .

Seems to be getting worse already. I heard some departments will start to request staff to go on compulsory leave if they are non-chargeable for too long.

Recession Is Striking Hard On Da Commercial Sectors

Especially now during off peak, I don't think they will recruit any more people for the time being..

now is off peak meh? deng!!! Fainted

Yes, now is off-peak. Most december accounts would have been signed already (or soon at least). However, i still go back at 11pm on average most days and come back to office on the weekends, hmmm.

hello everyone..may i ask 1 question? if i do training at one of the big 4 in tax dept, then after i grad,do i have a better chance to work for them in assurance dept?

Definitely yesssss ... provided u dun screw up BIG time

is it the recession really that bad? I asked one EY people team snr manager, she said that they are still recruiting, not even slowing it down..
I was asked to attnd their interview session this tuesday..so damn nervous!!!!!! any tips??? : P

thought it is peak until June?

The official off peak is about June...but for some firms, they already started to experience off peak or going to be off peak...not as much jobs as compared to peak..but still have some jobs on and off during the period...

hope that happens to me, although that's near impossible.. hahaha

i still see a lot of people leaving.. no difference also..

Will still recruit de.. most big 4 still understaffed


yes, peak is until June for most firms but for the bigger ones which has big June year end client, the offpeak is almost never gonna happen.. peak is until June because those non-listed Dec year end account need to be signed off before June ma. =)

Hie may i know which region of EY called u for interview? Thanks

is anyone working in the advisory line (IT) for kpmg or ey?

What is the expected salary for an intern working for Ernst & Young?
Need the information for my application.

600-700?

i think the market rate is rm800

yea EY is offering around RM800...consistent with the market rate

I think this is where you are wrong. For the Big 4s they are still hiring at the moment, its just that the criterias have become more stringent.

After all, right now supply outstrips demand, you can afford to be picky about your future employee and make sure you hire the best out of the pool of labour workforce. So essentially, yes they are being picky and hiring less, but that does not equate to not hiring at all.

p/s: my 2 cents.
