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
You can still opt for UK tax variant in ACCA. 1) how tough is it to work and study part time?

The debate between ICAEW and ACCA are usually heavily discussed among fresh grads and students.
Instead, employers are looking at your skill sets and performance. That's their priority. Choose whichever prof qualifications you feel comfortable with. It's the same thing.
Even Big Four now prefers non-accounting graduates such as engineering and IT (although they expect them to pursue a professional accounting qualification upon employing them)
