Anyone can shed some light on associate in advisory? The thread is mostly about audit..

1. The starting pay in big 4, CH, Baker etc

2. Career prospect.

3. The job scope. Do associates get assigned to specific teams and jobs or they have to do random stuffs depending on the jobs and engagements the company accepted? Can you learn much?

Any insights would be appreciated

Year 1 associate here in KPMG penang. Due to super high turnover rate and all the seniors leaving, we have to do literally all sections except inventory.  Interns replace our job in that sense.  Unhealthy workforce where year 1 associates >50% of total workforce (AM & below), some more partner still take in more and more engagements without increasing the workforce.

I guess u give and take, where everyday u got loads of new info coming in and u need to cope as fast as lightning.  The formal training is way more slower than what we had already learn informally.

overall the experience is beneficial if you are ok with learning new things every 2 weeks or so, given u deal with different clients of different industry (i.e some aunties u need to sweettalk them so u get the info u need).  stress is there everyday and it gets larger and larger.  if u want a steady pace of learning + training maybe consider other firms

oh for which role is this for?

You should email them and ask for a follow up.

4th wk????? its month already man..
u should really call up and ask, she's on leave, but doesn't mean she's the only person hu know bout you though.. other HR colleagues whould hv known about it too and take over her task to continue the appointment tasks

doesn't make sense when its been a month and you still haven't heard of anything yet from them

What is the starting fresh grad pay for consulting / advisory at big 4. Let's say EY? Not sure what to put for expected salary

You can't join consulting/advisory if you can't afford to scroll a few pages back 

your answer is there.

Saw it before posting but thats not the recent one no..? Most of them mention audit and etc but non recent consulting ones..

Unless I assume its the same for all which is 3.2k then

posting this for a friend and of course i wanna know too hahaha.

can someone elaborate more on the kpmg audit departments?
(k, p, m, g) on what their industries are.

i flipped through the thread + google. audit k and audit g on banks, audit m on insurance?

agreed. from experience, always choose to email HR since you’ll get a quick response (latest also 2 days). and if she’s out of office, i’m sure you’ll get an automated email on an alternative HR to contact.

only call HR if you have their personal extension line, or else ar..... 99% the main line transfer you there, the phone will ring n ring n then putus

email also cannot la, need to CALL!

if cannot, go find them personally at their company 

Does that not reek in desperation?

hahahahah sort of~ but if you are very sure that you are accepted and they promise u on the confirmation letter, i guess its okay tat u went straight up to them n explain to them about it?

tat is if calling & emailing are not working.

else, no choice u gotta disregard tis appointment. bye to this company 

Hi Im currently a full-time acca student and waiting for my last 3 F papers result.

Im thinking to get an internship preferably from big4 before starting the career.

Are you guys looking for any intern atm? 
If so, could you be my referrer.

hi, im just wondering if i stand a chance to get into big 4 with cgpa 3.1 & ACCA affiliate?

Is there any possibility that big 4 will reject applicant who has previously interned in their firm?
