Sorry to burst your bubble, no. ACCA graduate isn't ranked higher than a normal grad. It's simple as 'firm doesn't have to pay for ur professional qualification, and u're not bonded to the firm, therefore we can afford to pay u more. It's a set off thing'

And my source, btw, is quite credible. (aka HR)

What's the point of professional qualifications to the firms, if it simply nothing better than normal grad?

It just doesn't justify to pay them more because their professional qualifications if they're not better than normal grad. If they're better, then they ranked higher. hmm.gif hmm.gif

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

If they're interested, normally it will be within 2 weeks for every firms. Longer than that, probably you are on KIV list or not shortlisted.

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

lil bit question here,out of the big4..
Is Mazars (5th largest acctg firm in Europe. based in  France) in Malaysia is still the same environment as Moores rowland?(in terms of working culture, Equipment, Methodologies)or mazars has taken over and introduce their own approach of running the firm.. if the environment, management operations is still as moores rowland..then nothing change except the name only..

Mazars = MR. smile.gif

They've merged i think between Praxity MR and Mazars.

Working in the Big 4 is so dull and boring..... interned in one of them last summer and I swear I was counting the seconds till I can get home.

I prefer banks (invesment banks) better, much higher pace and pressure.

Work will only be interesting, if you're interested with it. Yea, intern with a big 4 quite boring as most of your time would be doing nothing or photostating. Try intern with those smaller firms, you will get lots of exposure.

I'm having fun with audit now, can you imagine?
