FRS 111 = Construction contracts. FRS201 is what o? not familiar with malaysian variant @@.

Eh btw, everyone here talking about PWC and EY, not much insight on KPMG. Is it not the "popular" choice in Malaysia?

You don't work at night?!!!
Which Big4 are you from? 

Hello, this might be a little off topic, but the crowd that patrons this thread are the people I would like to hear advice from.
So please do comment if you can! 

I'm a first year student, and recently I've tried my luck applying for internships.
I've had three offers, and now I've cut it down to two options.
I've been offered a place at BDO Binder's audit department and a place at Grant Thornton Consulting as well, and I'm not too sure which to choose.

I would like to built some work experience to give me a better chance of getting an internship placement at an investment bank or a management consultancy firm.
Yes, some might say I'm overly ambitious, but I have to give it my best shot!

So here's the question, which internship experience would be of more value in the eyes of the recruiter in an investment bank/management consultancy firm, an intern experience at BDO Binder audit or Grant Thornton Consulting?

It might matter, it might not. If it matters, it matters very little.
But even if it gives me a slightly better chance (although it may still be unlikely anyway), I am all for it!

Right now I'm leaning towards Grant Thornton Consulting, based on these few points:
-Although BDO's reputation looks better on my resume, but I'm not too sure if it's much of a difference compared to Grant Thornton.
-I'm led to believe that Grant Thornton Consulting has a reasonable global reputation.
-I'm also led to believe that it is quite a bit harder to get an internship placement in advisory/consulting compared to a place in audit.
-I have no plans to have a career in audit at all. Although I've heard that audit experience is very beneficial for a career, but I'll only consider if I have no better option.
-And even if I were to have an urge to taste audit, I can apply for it in 2nd year or 3rd year and I would assume that it won't be too hard to get it.  But that's if I want to try audit at all!

I would really appreciate a few pointers from the experienced! Thanks for reading! 

Hmm, just wondering, anyone here knows roughly how long does KPMG reply to online applications?

listen here. latest news from my director.

Big4 said we have mobility programme (mean they will send to oversea 1 ro 2 years exchange programme) it is rare to get that opportunity.

my idea is enter big4...stay there 3-4 years and LEAVE

that all .

Were you required to attend any formal interviews b4 you were offered the internship?or just phone interviews? thank u!

Tomorrow is my first day as an intern at pwc. Starting to feel nervous. What exactly happens in the orientation?

Does PwC have a January Intake? And if I were to submit an application now, would it be too late?
