QUOTE(Raymond_ACCA @ Aug 8 2008, 01:13 PM) Hi, this topic already 122 pages long, no time to read all. I got a few questions.. there is a huge difference between private apartment and HDB flats. most of ppl now go for hdb flat cause it is cheaper.1.Anyone after studying ACCA in malaysia, then apply to big4 in singapore before? hows the starting pay like right now? 2.If just apply using OBU degree, while taking last 2 acca papers part time, what are the chances of big4 in singapore accepting ? 3.What are the current rental charges for a single room apartment in singapore per month? 4.Among the big 4s ( P,E,K,D) which has the most exposure to listed companies in sg? Lastly, if any of u here who worked in big4 in sg, please share some experience of your working life there:) Might consider applying for a job there in the beginning of next year, if everything goes well. Thanks in advanced for replies:) will really appreciate. hdbflat = SGD400-500 per month per room private apartment/condo = SGD800 to SGD1200 per room per month pls check : http://www.flatsdb.com or http://www.hdbflat.blogspot.com for more information. |

QUOTE(louismhc @ Aug 12 2008, 08:29 AM) depend on which type of common roomif you are talking about those not staying with owner (renting whole unit) then yes. for those staying with owner, then it is cheaper....maybe SGD400 to SGD550. depend on what is in the room. but not flexible. most likely can't cook. and have to stay in the room all day. |
