Big 4 in SG will always welcome kulis from Malaysia. Not many locals are willing to trade their life for the sake of working the long dreaded graveyard hours in the Big 4. picture working till 5am and having to go into office at 9am thereafter.

jitshiong, this job will pay u $5k. So, do you think you will have good life?

If you compare RM and SGD alone, of cos earning SGD is better. What you save you get X 2.69 when you go back to Msia and spend.
Go ahead with audit if that's what you want. What I'm saying is that the Big 4 will welcome people like you. Lots of vacancies actually. Whether you can perform up to the firm's expectations, it's a different thing.

i wan come sg work..

left already. not worth sacrificing.

You worked in PwC KL before and you need referrals? Your experience itself is a referral already.
Y is your sister rushing you? If she wants to live in Singapore, she should be independent enough.

I was..left the good ol big 4 days already 

never considered commercial accounting. too mundane for me.
well audit is a guarantee of for sure promotion n increment..safe rice bowl if you willing to sacrifice

if you continue to spoil your sis, she will have a hard time to survive in sg. up to you to decide for her future.
haha.. i'm living off my savings now. still looking wat to venture into next.

Elder sister is like the 2nd mum la. Only younger sister can understand one     .

I am sure u are a good sister. My brother went through whatever u are going through to put me in university. I am sure your sister will appreciate everything u do for her

if you continue to spoil her, she couldn't stand on her own and what if you are not around her

I really dont see how moving down to SG is spoiling her, it's not like it is a bad career move for you
If you were Singaporean and you move to Malaysia for your sister....then maybe it is haha

I'd say go for it, I wish I'm moving down with someone close but unfortunately not the case, it's a good thing to move with your sister

no one in this thread working in pwc sg? just help the lady out. submit her resume to HR.
libragurlshirl, u nvr worked with sg before on big jobs? just send your resume to the managers/director and ask them to help submit.
last resort, i help u submit. hahaha.

You said she SPM? Come here for poly? Don't think uni here accept SPM even if full As.

Seems like most of the people here don't support the idea of babysitting your sister through degree. Most of them came here alone to start from scratch, so they are more independent type. Nothing wrong for them to think those who can't stand on their own are less capable. Someday you just have to let her walk alone though, you can watch beside but can't help her in every other thing. I am the youngest, so I am the most spoil, and the one that achieve the least, both academically and professionally. I blame it partially on my brother and sister .

SG is quite safe for a student to do her study, I done mine here. You can hardly have a chance to get mug, access to drug, and stick with wrong group of friends if you are in the public uni. Those who got in are not those rich and useless kids. She would have close friends in school that would help each other in daily life. You should go enjoy your life too. Anyway, anything urgent happen 999 and 994 would reach her faster than you would even you are in SG, they are very efficient. You can just fly here in few hours if something happen, plenty of flights from KL to SG every hour.

Good luck to your job application and hers too  .

If you have worked in Pwc KL for some time, chances are you will find a fair bit of your ex-colleagues in Pwc that made the move down, perhaps you could try asking around. I have seen many mid-joiners who came in from Pwc KL, so I am fairly confident you shouldn't have a hard time finding them. Catching the right timing will be important too, bonus and promotion is around July-September depending on which firm, so usually the recruitment will increase to replace those who leaves after the bonus.

Just to add this in, like what beancountz mentioned, the hours here are horrible (though i heard it is getting better, not sure how true is that). I have seen my fair share of those mid-joiners who quit within a year after they made it here, the fastest one I remember was within 1 month after coming down from KL as a senior.

Like I said, if u have no cable then sign up LinkedIn and efinancialcareers and go from there. In my experience in financial services these two way more effective than any of the other sites.

Any SG forum you guys used similar to LYN here? hardwarezone.com.sg??

cust service ?
