Dont argue with cktwai, he's holding a very high position in one of the Big 4. Let's say, someone high up that fires/hires you. Promised him not to reveal, but you get the idea right? Hahaha..

EY good, KPMG lousy? Pardon me, but am I seeing things? I was an ex EY and now KPMG, I think both are equally alright.
As for your worries, I think you overworried, every big small medium organisation do have their fair share of politics, but being an intern, you will not be affected. And big 4 do have a very good system in giving feedbacks to intern at the end of the internship and 99.9% of the time, the interns are rehired upon graduation unless you screw up big time (which is unlikely as you will be doing administrative work during your internship). I bet malacca has big 4 as well, though not as big as the ones in kl, but trust me, you dont learn much as an intern so no point going so far. |

No range, basically anything above 3.0. But I do have friends that went in with 3rd class degree. ENtirely depends on your performance during interview. But the interview is pretty easy, so not to worry.

I have not met any diploma holder in a Big 4, usually degree, either pick up ACCA to level up or try medium firm.
Put yourself in the employer's shoe, would he choose an average performer over a top performer when both are equally new and paid the same. If your result is not good enough, then try to emphasize on other areas that you are good at, eg. your leadership skill, your co-curriculum involvement, activities that you have successfully organised. While book smart ppl are slightly easier to train, but companies are also looking for independent and ppl who has great leadership to join them. |

QUOTE(Grimm @ Jan 21 2010, 03:38 PM) Hello. I'm not arguing with cktwai. I said then tell me what is right because I intend to work here a couple of years, and then transfer to an Australian/NZ/Singaporean big four. The other person said it is impossible as I must resign and then re-apply into the OZ/NZ/SG big four. So when cktwai said he is wrong, then I wanna know the correct info. With all due respect, I am just pulling your leg there, suppose to be taken with a pinch of salt. Hope he doesnt get your real name there, just in case you are keen to join one of the Big 4 in singapore, cause he is a P_rtner.And what if cktwai is of very high position? This is the whole problem with this country. Just because you are high up somewhere doesn't mean you can dictate every single thing that falls under your jurisdiction. As senior auditors, you people probably should be most aware of this - an opinion of anyone is still an important opinion. It doesn't matter if it is from a cleaning lady staff in the company that you are auditing - she might have the inside info on who's been throwing what into the thrash can and that info could be more important than any other info you can get scrutinizing your precious financial statements. All I'm saying is, in all the excitement in respecting someone of high position, do not forget to respect other people in lower posts. No hard feelings meant.   And as for your question, the firm does not allow internal transfer within countries except for secondments. Even if they do, those are very rare exceptional cases. Btw, do you have Aus PR? Because if you dont, it is quite impossible to work in NZ or Aus as they dont hire non-locals/non Aussie PR. The only way you can do that is by doing your masters in australia and apply for a PR right after graduation or second there for a couple of years. |

Is that the trend in EY now? In the past I was interviewed by the HR Manager and second round was with the HR Director Soo Fern.
