Anyone know anyone from big 4 who made the jump to Singapore big 4 and know exactly how they did it? Must you know someone there? Or is that insufficient and depends on luck? Or do they just apply through website?

Feels like chances are low these days..

Anyone know singapore big 4 offer how much for AM/M/SM?

What position did you interview for?

audit but unfortunately i dint get the job back to the job hunt

They get back to you so quickly? When I applied in kpmg back in March I was told that the earliest they could take me is in September... Which was why I found it weird that they have interview now.

Good luck on your job hunt. Have you looked into other big 4?

by the time u applied it is likely that may intake is full already, so they could only fit u into sept intake as they are running group interview. i applied the rest of the big4 but no reply yet, am gonna call EY and PwC so that they could update me. im gonna forego Deloitte cus they're group interview too which i assume would take quite some time to organise. if still no, i'll turn to small/medium firms. will still stick to audit doe due to personal interests

yea most of my colleagues made it to PwC SG.
You don't really need to know anybody for you to be hired by Big 4 SG however it is good to have connections within these firms so that you can get the information first hand.
For example, when big 4 SG are open for application, you will get the first hand information if you know someone from within the firms and you can apply right away to increase your chances
Your connections can help you to forward your resume to the HR but you will still need to apply through the portal

Yes do call.
When I applied to EY, I waited for a week before I made the call to EY HR.
They did a phone screening and offered me an interview on the spot.

im pretty sure EY's phone interview is one of those strength and weaknesses interviews yes? or have u been interviewed about another thing?

For audit. Phone screening for me was just screening my resume, asking me questions about qualifications and stuff like that

Interview questions like strength and weaknesses will be later when you have face to face interview with someone of audit managerial role.

anyone here know about System and Process Assurance (SPA) in PwC? Received an email today, said Audit assurance for august intake already full, ask me want to apply for SPA or not..

what is the job scope? is it hard? cuz I only have accounting background, dont have IT background ><

Well, you can always join audit in other firms haha

i am thinking maybe can try some new things..haha

Hey guys, just to share with you on my experience.

Recently, I had follow a page on Facebook:
https://www.facebook.com/yourperfectresume/

They help me to review your resume free and they will comment accordingly.

Later on, they help me to create another resume based on my previous resume for a small charge. Indeed, they had simplified it and straight to the point. It made me impressive with the straight forward content.

Since I used the new resume, I get more opportunities for interview invitation.
I promised to help them to do a review and promote, so this is it. Maybe you guys can have a look at the page.

Good evening everyone. I just received an interview offer with EY for an internship position.

Just want to ask:
What sort of questions the interviewers will ask? (Especially the tough or not-so-common questions)
Would it be as tough as for permanent positions?
How long would the interview be?

Thanks in advance for your answers!

anyone (experienced) keen in working with one of the big4 in payroll ? drop me an email

Hi pehrac,

I also had applied for audit position in EY lately and they haven't reply my application after 2 weeks. Do you mind share some of your experiences on the ways they get back to you?

Thanks

I just received an invitation to attend an assessment in PWC. Anyone went for this assessment before?

I am required to bring my own laptop. I am wondering what kind of assessment they will give us?

Mind sharing dear forumers.

I completed my internship there. Maybe I can answer your questions

1. Interviewer will screen through your resume with you on the phone. So they will ask where are you studying, results, joined co-curriculum activities?They could also ask you what is your biggest achievement so far.
Make sure you know your stuff very well..

2. The interview process will be as tough because it is a very well-established company. But if you managed to get to complete your internship there, it wont be really difficult to get back there as a permanent staff. They love people coming back because there are tonnes of work to do, and since you worked there before, it will be easier to teach you rather than teaching someone who doesnt know anything at all

3. The interview session depends on how well you perform actually. Can be 10-20 minutes? Just normal chit chat through the phone. No big deal. Easy peasy

Thanks, but my upcoming interview will be in-person interview, where I'll have to go to their office.
Well, they did call me a few weeks ago, but it's very brief and it was to arrange a face-to-face interview. Don't know whether it is considered a phone interview.
