Especially now during off peak, I don't think they will recruit any more people for the time being..

I think this is where you are wrong. For the Big 4s they are still hiring at the moment, its just that the criterias have become more stringent.

After all, right now supply outstrips demand, you can afford to be picky about your future employee and make sure you hire the best out of the pool of labour workforce. So essentially, yes they are being picky and hiring less, but that does not equate to not hiring at all.

p/s: my 2 cents.

yeap! me too, with EY.. so nervous lor

KL lor..hehe  

hi, i would like to know whether Deloitte's Financial Advisory is still hiring fresh grad? if it is, may i know who should i send my resume to? thanks in advance !

PWC not hiring now i heard

I was required to sit for numerical and verbal reasoning tests, before finishing with essay writing. I forgot the name of the company that prepared the questions, but I would say that the level of difficulty for both papers is slightly higher than SHL direct's questions. The assessment ended with essay writing. Six topics were given, which cover financial and business issues relevant to today's economic climate. (I applied for audit btw)

The interview with the partner was helpful and constructive. It was relaxed and I believe PwC genuinely wants to know who we are, our interests, strengths and weaknesses etc. My tip is to be yourself. Remember to smile and be confident.

PwC, EY and KPMG are generally the major players in Malaysia and then comes Deloitte (with a gap in between).

Rumour has it that, "D" in Malaysia is in fact the big joke in the financial industry.

erm, yeah, even i am ex-vt there also have to wait for the vacancy, as at the moment all have been fully filled. between, IMO, the department is the worst 1,  .haha.i guess all staff in KPMG, know about this.haha. don't say i tell you,haha.

Added on July 3, 2009, 4:49 pmI got an offer from a medium firm in JLN IPOH lately. 2k+ the salary, it seems good, and i would like to join also. however, my parents said the place looks dangerous, as the street is dark at night, and all malays, if i OT , then it really dangerous. some more my friend's dad said the place will full with those drug addicts at night..... Hence, looks like i force to reject the job.sigh. dunu wat to do already......

that is cause the basic is 2.4k + CPF 14.5% = 2.7/2.8K. In the long run (Unless he turns PR later), his has no EPF savings.

none
because even when they are good looking,

after a few months of audit, they look crap.

K for Kancil? lol.

I still see lotsa great looking people in Audit K. Christmas party was a blast.
