Do you know how long they will take to process an offer letter? It's been almost a month already since the recruiter called me that they were doing the hiring process. But still I never heard any feedback from them.

It's Deloitte.

which stage are you in?

after the hr told me I got the job, it took her one week to issue the employment offer letter but she told me in advance that she will not be in office for a week. I would say 2 days?

wait which stage are you in? From what you've describe it looks like you only did the phone pre-screening.

I have done 3 stages interview with technical manager, director and partner. It took almost 3 months for the entire interview cycle. The recruiter called me to inform about the offer after 2 weeks since the last stage of interview with partner.

During the phone conversation, she did mention the offer letter preparation may take few weeks to complete. Now I'm on my 4th week.

oh for which role is this for?

You should email them and ask for a follow up.

You can't join consulting/advisory if you can't afford to scroll a few pages back sweat.gif

Saw it before posting but thats not the recent one no..? Most of them mention audit and etc but non recent consulting ones..

Unless I assume its the same for all which is 3.2k then

The last I heard is 3450. That was last year

d consulting 3.6

d financial advisory 3.2 (level 3 associate, undergrad starts here) (again, not sure if it's the same for CF)

ey performance 3.2 - 3.4
ey audit (3-3.2)

ur figure is probably for pwc?

actually I really don't think it matters on what salary to put at this stage, I put 4k for mine and still ended up getting an offer tho for much lower.

My figure was for Eeey

Hmm interesting how do you know about Monitor? I dont believe they have an office here in KL do they? Maybe a small and niche dpt under D?
*
two of my friends did the interview, but disregarded it cause the salary was too low for them (both of them hold uk big4 offers).
Probably under D consulting then.

*removed it cause it might be misleading

I see, tks for the info. I assume you took the offer for one of the big 4s? Why not try MBBs if youre keen on consulting.

Not that keen on consulting actually and I probably wouldn't make the cut. Wanted ibd but with a combination of weak cv and bad timing I cmi. Got valuations in d so for now i can settle. sweat.gif

thanks for the reply! any idea about the other 3 firms?

unless you've got outstanding extra curricular i don't think you can pass the first stage with a 3.1. I guess Malaysia is still stuck with strict grade screening.

nevertheless, just try you'll never know

Hi all sifus,

Just got an offer to join one of the big 4 in September. Since I dont want to waste my time in August, is there any short term employment available? Willing to work much below market rate.

Cheers

Hard tho cause employers look for a minimum of 8 weeks.

Alternatively you could use the month to brush up on excel or learn some vba, or if you foresee yourself doing some professional paper you could brief through those sylabus.

>ACCA or ICAEW?
If I were you, I will take ACCA first then ICAEW.  I heard you cant be promoted to manager level without ACCA. So yea thats this.

> how tough is it to work and study part time?
-You might get very tired during class after work, so remember to get some coffee or tea. Usually part time course consists night and weekend class.
-Planning is everything. And make sure at least spend some time to study every day. Dont wait until the last month you will fail. As an ACCA student, make sure you do alot practices. It helps.

>MY tax or UK tax?
If you are working in malaysia, shouldnt you be taking malaysia tax? Plus thats alot changes in local tax recently, you have to keep yourself up to date as well.
*
I don't think there's a point of doing icaew following acca, it's like taking two degrees in the same area no? I'm no accountant but that doesn't sound right

I applied for Dec2018-Apr2019 internship which is few months ahead hmm.gif

And I also made up my mind already
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  tongue.gif

Which uni are you from? It is safe to say almsot all big4 actively engage with uni students so it's fairly easy to get an internship if you stand out even by just a little when compared to your peers.

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.

for u 2k cause you didn't even bother flipping a few pages back nod.gif

jokes aside, realistically speaking fetching around 3k is typical. You actually don't get ot negotiate your salary as fresh grad in big4 unless you're in audit or something like that and has a full aca or icaew etc etc.

I think they do sponsor to maintain your membership but they do not sponsor your examinations. I might be wrong though.

Guys, or any experience people in big 4, need your opinion. I’m currently doing my MBA, I’m working with a bank, and have 9 years exp. i plan to change job industry, want to do advisory for big 4 (any big 4 would do). Is it worth it to change from banking to big 4?

banking? what type of banking
