Guys I just graduate with degree in accountancy, just started working in bank (corporate banking dept) for the past 3month, but I dislike my job here coz generally it involve financial analysis, comment here and there (no accounting/calculation job) and actually I’m blur in this finance field, banks product and so on. I’m thinking to join big4 in audit field…but I’m afraid that I dun have much audit experience, b4 dis I went for practical training in small audit firm for 6 month and work part time after graduate for 1 month +, but I feel that the experience n skill I acquired in small audit firm is not that much...u know la most of the company is just SME company…cheat here and there…and I’ve been thinking to join audit firm back and want to join big firm perhaps pwc or ey…what do u guys think? should I go back to audit firm or just stick working at bank…

In terms of staff benefit I believe the Bank are much more better like medical and much much more…just want to know if im a guy and married, do big4 cover my wife and kids medical also?

it depends on what you want really.. if u think u like audit instead of banking then no harm trying.. audit always welcomes you although you have no exprience, you can join as fresh grad.. definitely cannot expect urself to join as experience staff with 3 months working experience.. internship experience don't count ya..  =)

big 4 pay is ok, but not great and benefits are mediocre (dun think it'll cover spouse/kids medical expenses though.. most company don't anyway, except for very big MNCs like Shell)..

if you were to join audit, please be ready to work late and hard.. no matter how smart you work, the workload is definitely a lot.. have a serious consideration before quiting ur job and join audit.. seek for alternatives and weigh ur own options.. good luck..  tongue.gif

hmm I think at the moment I will stay at my current job since I can get much more staff benefit here…yeah I know experience in big4 is valueable but just not at the moment hehe...
