Hello people.
I graduated from a local private uni with a finance degree. I applied into PwC as a intern for tax specialist(Under advisory) and if i enjoy it i will probably continue to work there as a permanent employee (provided they rehire me).

I would like to know what are the exit opportunities for a tax specialist in PwC after maybe 3-4 years?

lol face the same situation before. Waited for like almost 2 months, then I sent an email to the person-in-charge and she called me the next day apologizing that she forgot to inform me cuz she's on a long holiday.

i rent in bangsar cuz quite near. i rent the whole house for myself for RM600 since the landlord is my cousin. xD

Sure or not RM10k+- for Manager. You're from Deloitte right? Last time I checked with my friend - new manager salary at Deloitte is at least RM8k.

RM600 in Bangsarrr? LOL

Sub-rent to me mou hahahaah


btw I found a room in Ara Damansara, hope it would'nt be too far for me

ikr so cheap don't need to pay deposit lol

its more on how you timing your driving cuz the traffic is kinda bad otw to menara millenium

when are you going to start working tho?

Just wanna ask:

Is it possible to transfer between advisory department? For example, From corporate restructuring to Transaction service

It depends on availability in the dept and ur position I think. Which firm are you in and what dept is it?

Hi, I would like to ask if anyone landed a job as financial advisory associate as fresh graduate or with working experience of 6 months or lesser. Would love to hear any insight stories and tips! I thought of going after transaction service after my last ACCA paper.

Im starting next month in one of the big 4s under the advisory department. I be starting as an associate under CR

Which firm will u be working at? Are u a fresh graduate? Or joining as a second year associate?

Will be working at kp. I’m entering as a fresh grad. Currently my interest is in CR. But I ask the question cause I would love to have the opportunity to explore other departments 3-4 years down the road

Hi guys, I've got a problem.

I have studied audit subject in university. I have also did an internship in audit before.

But I still don't fucking get what is audit and what I am doing.

When I studied audit in university using textbook, it was terrible because nothing made sense. It was all bullshit theory. I thought maybe it will make sense when I actually do audit in real life.

But after my internship, I still don't get what the fuck I am doing.

I feel insecure whether what I am doing is correct. For example, when doing revenue work paper, I don't know how to begin. What the fuck is lead schedule? What is walkthrough and how do u select the test of controls? But first, what the fuck is test of controls?

And I'm a slow learner.

I really wonder if audit is the right choice for me. I like computers. Maybe I should havestudied things like IT, computer science instead of fucking accounting. Plus I was from pure science stream when I was in secondary school so I have no background in accounting. Fuck too late now. I am gonna be completing my degree soon. It will be a waste if I do not work in accounting.

Take your time man, you will get it soon! It took me long time to learn as well. Lead schedule just like the summary of the account balance. Walkthrough test is just to test on how an entry made in the accounting system step by step. Test of controls is just to test on the reliance of the controls. Higher the reliance of controls lesser substantive test later on. Lower the reliance of controls then, higher substantive test.

Anyway, you could just try to work in audit for atleast 3 years and decide later to move on. All the best and cheers

In Deloitte is 9k++ but i heard in PwC & EY is 10k+/-

Bro, I feel you man.

I studied and dont understand at all what accounting really is and in form 6, I was a pure science student till UPU decided that I had to study accounting in a public uni.

Studied it, interned once at a huge GLC (where you had to consolidate accounts, do reconciliation, corporate tax and relief plus all that finance stuff on the side). Heck, I even saw Big 4 auditors cramped up in the room doing all sort of queries and test and they look as stressed as me. So, I know audit definitely not on my plate. I tried advisory and got in at one of the Big 4 and its mainly project management, so you dont learn the hard technical stuff aside from stakeholder management and endless meetings. Its cool to be in meetings, meeting bosses etc but there came a time I realised that I actually didnt learn much as all I know is surface level stuff.

Now, Im in the banking line but thankfully with rotations, at least i can have exposures in fields that are totally different from time to time.

My advice is to get your seniors to help you out and be useful. Also make a good lasting impression to your manager. Then after your promotion to senior, try finding alternative career that you want or at least can bear with for your actual progression. The natural place to go from an audit line is usually in advisory. Get to know people, join the firm's external public events, get in touch with people and you will actually go far.

All the best and if you learn slow, at least start early.

PwC or Deloitte. September intake. HeLp!

pwc

Thank you

Looks like you're lacking a good senior. No guidance will always make you feel like this. Part of the experience, it'll get better.
