If you find the interview question invasive, wait till you meet your audit partner and client. I know a Big4 partner that has zero qualm of grilling a staff in front of everybody at high pitch with language that even Gordon Ramsay is proud of. You may also get that a lot from client who generally viewed auditors as annoyance in Malaysia.

Yes, I think it’s better for them to filter out candidates that don’t fit their culture. It’s not a playground. Yes, they need a lot of people during peak period but they are not obliged to hire anybody. The cost of recruiting the wrong candidate is greater than having insufficient staff. At least the manager can blame lack of resources over mistakes.

Finishing your education is their lowest and minimum expectation. They don’t need to hire top graduates for the work they do (although they wanted to but they will lose these candidates to investment banks or consulting firms). Sometimes failure is justifiable and with legitimate reasons. Some of the best people I work with are not a top scorer. It requires different traits to be a good staff and a good education background (which signifies learning capabilities) is just one of them.

Another example is how well you learn in a non-controlled environment? For example, how you respond during crisis, how you multi-task, how you prioritise key deliverables, how you deal with clients that are not cooperative, how you deal with your supervisor who has a different style …. You don’t learn any of this in textbook. The closest is through interview questions. If you can’t convince them in the interview, what makes you think they are confident to hand the projects to you?

Don’t worry; no one is immune to mistakes. I have made similar ones. The important thing is to learn and improve on it.

Just googled the distance. It takes 1km to walk from Lot F to PwC building! That's crazy

Do they still have shuttles to the parking lot for ppl who are lazy to walk?

Hello guys, I am really excited for my job commencement as an audit associate in pwc next month.
As I have got no working experiences, any senior/pros here can advise on what to prepare/study before joining so I can better off kickstart the job? Is it important to go through and familiarize with all the accounting standard and auditing standard beforehand?

Thank you!

Curious question - can a person be promoted to manager in 1 year?  I heard this lecturer claim she knows of a person who did that in Big 4 and then left to teach.

Is it true that PWC will not consider those that have failed 2 or 3 times before in ACCA exams?

Does the sunway college brand carry any weight in getting a job - my dad thinks so?

Hi guys, need some advice here. I have been working in a small audit firm in PJ for 3 months after I resigned from PwC regional office after joining for 5 months. I was bonded with my current firm for 3 years while pursuing my icaew studies. I just received an interview invitation from EY KL. If I were to get the offer, should I go for it or stay with my current firm until I get my qualification?

Hi guys, I got an interview for PwC Junior Explorer programme coming up this week. Any tips or advice please? Thank you.
