pwc got 2.7 meh? hmm. anyone going for july assessments?

pwc interviews for audit today, pwc interviews for tax is tomorrow. i hope my interview went well, cos i got quite a tough interviewer.

Hi, can share with us what questions ur interviewer ask u? and how long was the interview?

Erm.. nothing out of the ordinary la...  pwc called on friday, so i'll be getting the offer letter soon. So to those in PWC, i'll be joining u all XD

Why bother about classification when all of them are audit/tax firms?

what you mean by this? don't you agree that big4 staffs have better exposure than medium/small firm auditors/accountant?

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

Orientation is fun...
Let me know which industry you're in.
CIPS PLAS is good

when is usually da peak period(s)? do all da audit firms hv da same peak time or it varies between firms. if "off-peak", what month will it be?

Just read PwC assurance's mail. Looks like the rest of this year's 1st Experience will be purely in KL.

Pity no PD for you new joiners.

hi,
anyone from EY or PwC??juz wanna ask, for audit, what's the best department or business unit to work in for both firms?Thx

relax, chill yo. U'll be seeing these peoepl everyday, don't be scared of them yo.

I have a same opinion with u as well , for my opinion, english is important definately but as long as meet the basic requirement it should be ok . If they wan those people who really expert in english, why dun they juz hire english teacher , they are pretty good in english. For me i think the knowledge in account, audit or tax would be significant.

Hi there, thanks for your respond. i wrote the post while i was blur and have not yet sleep for whole 9..yeah, what you said is correct, i spell wrongly the name of deloitte. sorry about that. i did know how to spell DELOITTE.

i would like to inform you that regarding what i said, deloitte is stop recruiting, i am not heard from rumors but it did state in the website that there is no vacancy in deloitte malaysia at the moment.

my cgpa is above 3.75, i do not know does it consider high. however, i do believe there are many of first class students in the market. PWC did call me for a tele-interview, but i guess the call was not at the right time, while i was busy with my presentation, thus, i just simply answer the question, used the short and simple answer. therefore, i think i was failed to impress the HR executive.

yea, i know about the essay test, i did it at KPMG last time. If i decided to join back KPMG last august when they offered me , my salary would be RM2,700. however, obviously i did a wrong decision that rejected to join them back.

and i do realize about i have to improve my english level after i joined KPMG. i will attend the British council English course soon.

i grew up at a rural area, which does not emphasize english at all, i regret about why i didn't realize and learn English properly last time.  i am the only one can speak English in the home....so i have no one can practice to...maybe u will say i could practice with my friends, but most of them only speak mandarin in the university, only if there is presentation they will use English, otherwise, normal conversation if i speak English , they will LOOK at you... thought u r showing off. sigh.

regarding the extra-curricular, just to be frank , i do not have, only those compulsory i have. maybe as 1 of the participant of National Service program could be considered as ?

and BDO didn't invite me for an interview session is because they said 1 of their requirement is SPM Englsih score A. that 's why, i failed. but my coursemate who scored B can get in there, because he applied earlier, and he is ex-vt there. so the executive said they give excuse to those VT.


anyway, i agree that English is really important, tat's y i even hope if i were English educated, like those 'banana'. although my friend who is banana keep comforting me that, i should be indebted because i can read, write and speak chinese. however, if i can choose, i wish to be English educated.
thank you for all the responses.

Fact 1.
Audit firms CANNOT stop hiring. The moment they stop, there will be a gap in the review hierarchy, and that is bad for the firm.

Fact 2.
Good or bad times, people leave audit. Why? It's just too.. shall I say it, inhuman.

Fact 3.
Bad times means more people stay, as they can't find alternative work. Also, bad times means budget and cash runs lower.That will mean HR have to hire less. However, due to Fact 1 and Fact 2, they still have to hire. (for continuity and succession planning)

Fact 4.
In bad times, audit is the only consistent firm that still hires. THerefore, it may seem like the audit firms h ave stopped hiring, but what in fact actually happens, is that,
i) More applicants (as a result of the growing popularity of audit as a career to young, clueless and hopeful accounting students)
ii) Retrenched staff trying out audit
iii) Previously resigned auditors going back to it because they can't find other jobs since resigning.

As a result of Facts 1-2, they will still hire.
But as a result of Facts 3 and 4, recruitment criteria is much more stringent.

Thus, to the common, average performing student, it would seem as if hiring have ceased.

f*** big 4s. Work in medium size firms better can learn a lot!

welcome to the club. June intake is the best intake as our annual promotion is in june so you don't risk being overdue to anything.

general sentiments and response from senior management seems to suggest so, though no official brief has been given. If I do get any info I'll inform you ppl accordingly ;P

i'm not going to work from home either!
