QUOTE(immabee @ Jun 1 2016, 08:39 AM) Mine's a mix of small team with a hint of chinaman team (a bit tight on the budget) and moving towards death squad. Learnt a lot but my future being there sounds bleak...  What about the dustbin team, the rojak, the average joes? Emm their culture is give and take, too polarised to form a view. Dustbin similar to dream team. Rojak and average joes are the big majority so their culture is typical (barring any labour turnover) If you hail from a small team try to get into a big team around your 3rd year or so (most will do that). If you are from a big team, most will ship you out to try individual portfolios. Eventually the trend now, most will leave and join Singapore / Australia Big4 after they get their title if they love audit but hate the pay and/or the team here. If you like audit but hate the working hours, most will try to switch to advisory (except the technical ones). If you want to get out from the firm, most will try accounting or internal audit that can match the salary demands but not the glamour and career development. Those that wants to leave audit outright to further career development in new field such as CF, IB, consulting, .. will most likely end up with lower salary (if they get the job) but hope to get higher in subsequent years. |

May I know with so many teams there, do I get to choose which team to work with or it is being assigned by hiring manager and/or HR from day one ? Thanks. |

Thanks. see your luck. If your boss favors you, you can get into a good team.. If not, that's just your luck initially.

They do, but for brand recognition solely, Big 4 carries more weight. |

QUOTE(Hackmon @ Jun 1 2016, 01:15 AM) It is possible, a guy with cpga lower than 3.0 get into one of the big4 (not to mention which one). But initially he was not being shortlisted for the interview. I heard pipu said he keep calling the HR to convince them to give him an interview opportunity. and boom! He succeed. FYI, he is very active in co-cur and accounting club, the HR in big4 and mid tier firms know him. Pwc is hard, they have too many applicants. Aim other firms, and call them daily to kacau until they feel ur passion.  Hey man, after reading ur comment, i felt like is almost hopeless to expect a call from big4 already  |

QUOTE(Asgardians @ May 31 2016, 11:12 PM) Hello. 2.3/4? If it, then I would say your results are not really good to be honest. You might not even get called up by the big 4s even with such impressive involvement in cocuriculum activities because they are really looking for people with second upper AT LEAST! Unless you completed your internship there, or else I would say it is impossible to enter. I have friends who got second upper and got booted out during the interview process. Maybe you can consider taking ACCA/CPA/CIMA and beautify your CV with a professional qualification? Good luck! i did have internship back in sabah EY but currently im working at this SME audit firm in KL. im currently taking CPA paper and passed 2 paper without failing. gonna use it to beautify my CV but myself not really confident if big4 would really call or not |

QUOTE(fcuk90 @ Jan 24 2016, 10:44 PM) anyone here in IT Audit ? How is it ? as compared to external audit? Because I am planning to take CISA and eventually try IT audit afterward. It is hard for a account-degree background to do IT audit ? if you're a fast learner, you can probably cope on the fundamental of performing IT audit with 1-3 months. shouldn't be a problem. |
