Just want to share that I've interned in KPMG in 2016 and applied again for permanent position after I have completed my studies. Applied countless times for their new job openings in audit and tax. But I didn't receive any interview invitation. My resume is good imo like 3.5 CGPA, president of accounting club etc. I thought since I've interned there it could help me, but I guess not Well at least now I got an internal audit job in a bank with way better work life balance and decent pay

That probably means that you didn't really impress them during your internship. If you did, they would have asked you about potentially joining as a permanent.

But anyways, IA is a lot better than EA in my opinion. Better work life balance.

banking? what type of banking

guys, how long is it actually to received an update regarding job application for the big 4?

What's the status of the application? Just CV drop off or interview already?

If it's just CV drop off then it can take a while because HR receives a lot of job applications everyday so there is a process for HR to review it first for vetting and then for the hiring manager to further review to decide if worthy for interview.

If you already interviewed, then it depends on how urgent they need the position filed and the number of other candidates that they still need to interview. Could be 1 week or a month - but you should have asked that question during your interview on when you can expect an update from them.

oh well thank you, its just CV drop off, but still it already takes about a month without any update, im just curious nothing else. Thanks tho

Anyone here have experience with M&A Deloitte? I heard big fours mainly just do due diligence and don’t handle too many deals

guys may i know the average salary for audit assistant for fresh graduate with degree & ACCA ?

Do I need a car when I'm starting to work at Big 4? Currently working at small audit firm with below than average salary, getting into EY next July, i don't think bank would approve my car loan application right now

Well, I graduated many years ago, not sure the below experience still relevant.

I had my internship in one of the well known mid-tier firm before, and I joined one of the big 4 once I graduated from university. During my internship days, I was assigned to perform P&L testing, simple analytical procedures, review of statutory records and simple test of controls (SME engagement). My friend who had internship in one of the big four, he was assigned to perform P&L vouching (MNC and listed company audit).

I believe that's the exposure part mentioned by your lecturers. Nevertheless, I don't think the internship exposure matters much for your future employment, since an intern will not be expected to involve significantly in the audit engagement.

However, if you would like to get into big 4 in the future, maybe you should just apply for big 4 internship program. If you get to know some managers/seniors, you may get a referral in the future right.

Just my 2 cents.
