Yes

hey,guy..in big four,there will be an increment after ur probation right?

Not nescessarily.

not that I know off. The increement is normally during the review which happens once a year.

do we have to sign the offer again after we are confirmed?

In audit, not at all (as far as i know la)


Nope

You all prefer an action-packed group trip but cheap or a relaxing one but expensive ?

LOL. i like action packed.

does anyone know the starting pay offered by the big four in Kuching as a 1st year AA and hows the promotion like compared to KL (HQ)? Thx

I think pay depends on the standard of living around that area. Sarawak should not be high gua (correct me if I am wrong)

Hi,
Horwath got any test or essay?
May all of you share the interview experience in Horwath?
Normally what question they would ask? (for experience or non)
Thanks in advance...

its out of topic...
although its an audit firm but it falls out of big 4

recently i heard 1 new that PwC is paying minimum 3 months bonus, can any1 confirm with me?

Rubbish. Minimum bonus is ZERO.
Average performers get 1.5-2 months.

oic, den my sources not reliable

Action packed! If I want to relax, I just go home and sleep lol

Hello there friends.

I would like to enquire, is there anyone who went for the big4 interview(recently) and didnt make it, or make it?

Can share your experience?

And anyone going for any interviews with big4 soon?

Thank you.

second that. just make sure u guys didnt work till 2-3am the previous night before. else action pack will become zombie pack LOL



Depends a lot on the standard of living i.e. what Topace mentioned, but I roughly estimate that its about RM300 lower than KL (assuming I'm taking my firm for example)

In terms of promotion, I'd say it won't be as bright as KL though. Simply because smaller regional offices have limited jobs and thus the requirement for e.g. seniors & AMs/ESs will be limited to a few position (maybe 1-2?) as compared to the HQ offices. Also do note that due to the slower progression, it is likely that the person that joined before you will get the promotion, possibly due to the longer time frame and audit knowledge/experience that they have in the regional office

geez. what is wrong with you people? you think they read from a script or something? wake up!!!! there is nothing that you can prepare yourself for the interview questions, the only way is to be spontaneous. e.g. like my interview, all the interviewer asked was all about my study life in UK. not the standard FRS questions yadda yadda yadda.

now imagine if you have went to the interview single mindedly prepared for FRS questions, won't you be caught off-guard? im not saying there are NO FRS questions, but i think the best preparation for you is just to relax and approach the interview with a free mind, i.e. not be bogged down with all the preparations etc.

I am so fed up in applying Big4, I am quit, and I feel regret to take double majors in accounting & banking and finance from Monash. Graduated and like no difference from local U or should I say ACCA. People holding ACCA @ 20 years old already work in Big4, and I am already more than that still unemployed after graduated, months. Results weren't those top class students but credit average and my ECA is definitely much better than average. So desperate. Consult here and there, new hope, vanished, new hope, vanished again. Frankly, no attitude problem, be humble and smile while interviewing, can speak fluent english, lack of what? I am not like those article saying spoon feed fresh grades demand this and demand that.

A month being unemployed = A month experience loss out compared with others in the same field.
