Lol u want internship? One of the big 4 is hiring interns for a upcoming project, but in Advisory - Corporate Finance.

PM me if u really keen. I reckon it takes less than a week to get a confirmation.

Hi. I have recently graduated with a Accounting and Finance degree and am joining a Big 4's business tax advisory in this September and planning to take a professional qualification as a part time student. I am considering between ICAEW and ACCA.

1) how tough is it to work and study part time?
2) Is there any suggestion or advice for which professional qualification to go for? The reason why I am contemplating is because ICAEW gives me exposure to UK tax while ACCA gives exposure to Malaysian tax. I have basic knowledge on UK tax (really basic) and minimal knowledge on malaysia's corporate tax/business tax advisory. Will it be very tough to apply UK tax knowledge into Malaysia's tax system?

I am willing to put effort to learn.

Hope to hear your wise suggestions

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

Thank you for your suggestion on how to juggle between work and part time studies. I will constantly keep my studies in check 

I agree that pursuing MY tax is essential since I am working in malaysia. 

If that is the case, may I know how will my Malaysian tax knowledge be applicable If i wish to transfer to Singapore in the future? The reason i am asking this is because  I noticed several tax consultants have successfully transferred to Singapore Big4's tax division in this "Big 4 Recruitment Drive_v3" thread.

If you didn't use cable 2-3 weeks. If you use cable 3 days also can get interview edi.

No worries. Just the timing is not that good.
September to December actually is really not that peak.
Hence, pretty obvious that they wont need that much of ppl.
Not sure nowadays how the policy, but last time i remember the next intake after September is december.
If u apply in January, your application will be replied within days. 

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.

Sentral 

EY and Deloitte can be easy to get in during December. Send in straight to HR.

PwC more formalised, need to apply through the website.

I see thanks for the insight! Are you in 1 of the big4s advisory? You seem to know quite a lot about it. 
Hmmm so generally after 4weeks I will deem my application as failure? Would they notify me about it? Or should I enquire about it by giving them a call?

Entering 4th week for me now still haven't heard from my future employer. Regarding the follow up, it is appropriate to call them up now?

Unfortunately, i dont have any degree tho. Just 2 years work experience (including internship) and 3 more papers left. I didn't met their requirement. I guess i'm not good enough

The reason was they had better candidate than me. And i actually applied since March. Feel so hopeless lol. Thinking of changing industy. But i like audit tho 😅

Yeah, I would want to believe that the result shouldn’t be the main reason, I screened my resume to people who are experienced too. I couldn’t figure the reason. Should I reapply my resumes to the firms at this time?

Now is peak period right?

Do you think now is a good time for me to apply for entry level audit associate position in big 4's? I have a degree in accounting & finance from a local uni

How much does big 4 pays for fresh graduate audit and advisory?

The total package including basic + allowance.

Million tks!
