You can still opt for UK tax variant in ACCA.

The debate between ICAEW and ACCA are usually heavily discussed among fresh grads and students.

Instead, employers are looking at your skill sets and performance. That's their priority. Choose whichever prof qualifications you feel comfortable with. It's the same thing.

Even Big Four now prefers non-accounting graduates such as engineering and IT (although they expect them to pursue a professional accounting qualification upon employing them)

Thank you for your suggestion on how to juggle between work and part time studies. I will constantly keep my studies in check 

I agree that pursuing MY tax is essential since I am working in malaysia. 

If that is the case, may I know how will my Malaysian tax knowledge be applicable If i wish to transfer to Singapore in the future? The reason i am asking this is because  I noticed several tax consultants have successfully transferred to Singapore Big4's tax division in this "Big 4 Recruitment Drive_v3" thread.

I'm in EY Assurance FSO

Hi. I’ll be working in EY soon next month.
I got into the audit Hospitality division and I request for a switch to the financial services division.
Do you know how likely would they switch like this?
Initially I was thinking maybe I can join Hospitality first then I can switch to financial line later but when I called and asked they said they usually wouldn’t switch you after you have been placed in one line because they’d have to re-trained you again.

Banking/FS audit are quite specialized compared to others. I think it’s easier to switch there than vice-versa. About the switch itself, it’s mostly left to partners’ discretion. Due to lack of resources, most partners are reluctant unless you threaten to resign.

Hi. Thanks for the info.
I’ve been reading threads which say about HPI being understaffed so it’s not really easy for me switch right?

Hi! I just applied to the Big4 last week. Any idea what's the usual time they usually take to review the applications? I've read that this can range from few weeks to a few months, is that right?

If you didn't use cable 2-3 weeks. If you use cable 3 days also can get interview edi.

Waaa so huge difference

Lets say for me personally
I sent the application like 5 weeks ago
After 4weeks, I called and they said will check and send me an email later(actually this monday)
How long should i wait and call them again.
I know my chance of getting the internship is merely zero now:/

No worries. Just the timing is not that good.
September to December actually is really not that peak.
Hence, pretty obvious that they wont need that much of ppl.
Not sure nowadays how the policy, but last time i remember the next intake after September is december.
If u apply in January, your application will be replied within days.

I thought normally recruitment is heavy in 4th quarter as the staff got time to train the juniors. Somemore there is a lot of stocktake in Nov / dec that needs a lot of manpower. A lot of people also may tender before peak period (post December).

If they dont reply me then be it, cuz its wasting my time and also their time to sit here and wait for them
So gonna apply for Mid-size internship then

too bad EY only gives internship for degree program
i acca student need to stand aside 

Hello guys, I have recently graduated and was wondering how is the Big 4 pay like for fresh graduate?

I am just trying to figuring out what's my expected pay if my interview asks me. Sorry I am just not familiar with the local market currently and how much fresh graduate will be paid at.

I know millennials really do expect higher pay and such but I am just really trying to figure for myself to secure my very first job. Thanks in advance.
