I admit that I was shy, but now improved, communication is okay, just that not easy to start a conversation and also speak out in the meeting. Audit gives me good exposure, but I just worry that I will be tired meeting many people everyday since it is project based, which will effect my performance. So I am thinking doing tax instead.

I have a problem here. I wish to apply for a permanent position in KPMG. But when I apply online using my email, the system detects an incomplete submission previously and forces me to continue the incomplete submission. Okay fine I just continue the previous application. But the problem is, I can't change the position applied for!!! The position applied for shows internship and I can't make changes to it.

So should I apply for the permanent position using another email or is there other way to settle this problem?

Don't really wanna use another email cause most of the time I don't log in to the other email.

Sorry if my problem sounds childish...

Hi, I submitted my online application on 9/11 to PwC and have not received any emails from them since then. Is it advisable to call/send email to PwC to inquire about my application status for a full-time position, without making HR feeling like I'm pressuring them? Thanks!

Its been more than 2 weeks, yes?
You may call them to ask for an update, but I wish you luck. Its not easy for your call to get through to HR. If you still couldnt connect to HR after several tries, go ahead and send an email to PwC. They will usually reply to your emails, although a bit later.

Hi, anyone works as a Consulting Associate at EY or is currently applying for the EY Graduate Programme - Business Consulting Associate (Finance)? I wonder how many stages of interviews to go through. Thank you!

I worked at **. Hmm..I am an extremely introvert guy and struggling with my stutter sometimes (even during the f2f interview ). But over time, my communication skill is getting better as on several rare occasions, I need to lead the call with clients- I just need to be well-prepared what to be discussed prior the call If in doubt, just ask your seniors, they would help (even if they're reluctant) since it is one of their KPIs to help the new joiners and associates Hence in my opinion, audit is quite a suitable career for a shy person since most of the time we are behind the computers

And speaking of the 6 months contract position, we just had a townhall session recently and one of the questions raised was regarding the shortage of staff since many has resigned/tendered and the partner said the HR has been actively recruiting new staff. The firm's financial is recovering and I think if everything is going on the right direction for the next few months, most probably the contract one will be absorbed as permanent staff. But if the worse-case-scenario happens, at least your resume will look good tho and your future employability is higher.

My uni friend has tried to apply at ** 3 times, but still got rejected last week.

How to get into big 4? Do they look into your ACCA marks for every papers?

I applied it, but I think I wont be able to get it. The HR called me for a phone interview after a week I applied. She said she will inform me the results after a week, but I didn't receive any email from PwC. I sent them an email asking for updates, however, they seen it without any reply. I am an ACCA holder + degree holder, so I think it is not 100% for ACCA to get it. Maybe my phone interview performance did not reach their standard....

Thank you for your encouragement!

Thanks for enlightened me. That means I still can be rescued.
May I know why many tender resignations?

Most of the firms promotion season just over, people would take their new promoted position and try to get a new job.

Big 4 turnover rate memang high. Its a norm. Big 4 is not for everyone.

And with the millennial mindset these days, there are alot snowflakes, sikit sikit not happy d.

For example, some staff dont even have normal courtesy such as returning files to the client after use or putting back the files back to the place you took it. When a more senior figure tegur or puts that part of the evaluation, then bey song d lol.

how

Bro this shit happen every generation. My uncles both 50 plus and 60 plus always talk shit about the generations born in 1970s and 1980s about how they were sensitive and mediocre at work so don't think you are exempt from this.

Talking and actually experiencing it first hand is different. Your uncles and aunties in big 4 ah?

Im a 1993 lol.

Hi guys, can I know how much big 4 subsidise for professional papers? Thank you.

Usually if you sign contract of 4 years with the firm, normally they will fork up to Rm15k for your professional paper journey.

If its a professional paper being pushed by the president or wadever, the subsidy might even reach RM25k.

OK got it, thank you.

Did you hear back from them since then?

Has anyone tried PwC's online assessment? The email stated that the assessment will be an online game. Just curious about what will be tested and how to score

Pymetrics... Shouldnt be difficult
