Deloitte rejected me too damn sad. Now waiting KPMG reply me. Had apply EY graduate program at the end of October until now also no respond at all. Yes I'm apply fresh grad position.

Haha i guess Deloitte rejected quite a number of people... May I know when did you when for the interview in deloitte? group interview?.... All the best to you man.

I went on 11/11 I'm not attend group interview I'm attended 1-1 interview with HR person

Officially, I don’t think there is a cooling-off policy but internally I heard its 6 months. Big4 got a big pool to choose from so they have more options than before. Maybe the policy had change, but during my time the preference is like this:

1) Foreign grads (especially those with full exposure in UK and AUS). I know some of the Big4 HR partner specifically approached them even before the graduated through campus recruitment.
2) Those that have completed their professional programs (logically its only ACCA) so that they can back-up when the staff from 1) above go for their professional exams
3) Others – local grads

Good grades are given. HR also look positively on those with referrals (the higher rank the better) and those with prior internship experience for fresh entry.

I have two friends both degree second upper, interned big4. after completing acca, 1 fail to get into big4 - Msia grad. 1 succeed - Aussie grad. personality wise, both are okay. Takde rezeki.

btw, for Acca membership, can we claim the work experience for one year in firm A plus 2 years in firm B? Idk where to ask this question.

deloitte is shortage of staff now, if you can't get in, only 2 reasons:

1. there are better candidates during interview (when you are invited into an interview, result is not important anymore)
2. you did not provide answer that the interviewer wants (are you a social person? are you a good performer, a good leader? is your double entry strong?)

EY prefer those had clear mindset on which industry they wanted to enter, and results is important to them. You need to be academically sound in order to enter.

I've a 3rd class degree, even worse than you, but I've been in Big 4 for years. I first start off in medium sized firm, then only starts my acca then moved to Big 4, then during Big 4 only complete my acca.

can claim both, im the best example. You need to get supervisor sign for you in firm A and firm B respectively for experience.

for Performance objective, any supervisor can sign for you. in my case, i get firm A to sign 4, firm B to sign 10, total 14 signed.

KPMG usually very fast, within a week you should get response. Did PPC tell you when should you get a response?

Pls follow up consistently. Which department is your manager from? Btw, all the best!

I went to the interview on 23/11 during brief the HR in charge tell us will be inform us within one ornone and half week. But for me until today also no news at all this mean am i failed to get an offer? I'm plan to send an email and ask for the progress next week.

Which department? K,P,M,G which one?

Better to call up.

The problem is I forgot to ask which group is the interviewer from. I only know my session only group k p and m.

When the supply >>>>>>> demand. Big 4 have the luxury to choose from huge talent pool. It's normal that 90% of candidates to be rejected. Upskill yourself from somewhere somehow, then reapply with your strong CV offering what they really want. They, after all are still a for profit business entity looking to make money, and you suppose to make money for them

I too got rejected without even a call from them. It's either my CV too terrible or probably my terrible uni results scares them away.

Didn't get dejected, that set me on a path to entrepreneurship and I earn much more than all my ex-uni mates combined that graduated with flying colours that still working with big 4 till now.

I'm not discouraging applying to big 4. If you get it, fantastic, learn as much as you can and utilise it to chart your own future that you want. Certainly it is nice to have guidance being there rather than on your own with no help. It speed up knowledge and experience acquisition. However, being on your own imbues tenacity, perseverance, and strong attitude, that is if you don't give up.

Young people, combine the best of everything, and you all would have a recipe for success in whatever you do.

If you don't get it, don't be disheartened, when a door closes for you, there is always another window open for you. You just need to climb through the window than just open the door and walk through it

lol not even getting a name card from them..can't check for you then.

That time forgotten to ask them. My fault. Thank you for your help

Thanks for your reply bro.
Mind if i ask how do you know delloitte is in shortage of staff as we all know in audit line the turnover for all big 4 is high? Are you one of their staff?haha...

Yes I think that you are right i did not exhibit good leadership traits in the interview and also did not stand out from the group interview but most of the participant in the group interview did similar. I wonder how great a fresh grad can be.

Yes I think i messed up during the phone interview with EY as im afraid of telling them which industry I would want to be in because each industry has its quota.

How long have you been working in mid firm before moving to big 4? when you move to big 4 did you already acquire your professional tittle?

Deloitte just had a batch of new joiners this week. And yes deloitte is in need of staff right now. Im from Deloitte.

And the group interview is actually quite random. I think most importantly when you talk dont make it feel forced. Some ppl who kinda forced themselves to talk more, got rekted. Lol

how long for deloitte to interview and offer ? within a month? I just started a new job but still considering audit

hi does anyone know the salary/OT pay for KPMG and BDO regional office(JB) for audit associate?

also, how is their sponsorship for ACCA professional level and the bond period?

Not from Deloitte. Well, audit circle very small only.

1 year in mid firm before moving to Big 4. From your reply, I ady know you are not a very detailed person, where auditor actually need to be very detailed. Coz I already mentioned that i only finished my study while working in Big 4 lollll

Good enough, 1 week is possible.

If deemed average. No idea.

If they kept you waiting for a month, most prolly you wont be getting it. Becausse they now despo for ppl. And bz season coming soon already.
