Sorry to say this but EY is not hiring anyone this year to cut costs.

Yeah, I'm serious

All partners partners/directors voluntarily cut their salaries so they can retain staff

And no one is resigning (I was planning to lol) after peak season coz it's hard to get job post covid

Frankly, it's quite a bad time for you guys to apply any Big4 right now with the current pandemic still ongoing. The financial performance plummeted really hard this year...like in my assurance department line only 3 people got promoted to senior. I feel bad for those associates Year 2 bcoz they've been working so freaking hard

But on the bright side, more opening for assurance job since many staff are going to tender resignation including me

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.

For EY, can claim until RM500 max for the annual fee. Usually GBP112 costs around +-RM620
