Hey guys .. I did read all the posts here and got a rough idea on how the process works but yet I still want to hear your 2cents on my situation.
I applied to all big 4 on 1/2 nov for tax position. 2 weeks later I called all and checked with them and only kpmg replied requesting me to take the online assessment which I failed and requested me to do again. The other 3 have been silent and it’s been the 3rd week since I applied. I did call them and I’ve been told the person in charge will call and this is been going on. I totally understand that it’s extremely busy period for hiring.
Should I assume I’ve failed in my applications? I’m highly interested in tax area. I’m a law graduate with second lower class.i worked in bdo for a year for tax.
Do I stand a chance for big 4 (particularly pwc)
Thanks for your replies and sorry for the long post!

Your timing is not good.
The intake for this year already ended.
Guess you have to wait until next year before they reply to you.

Ahh... I see. So basically when I am able to reach the interview stage, academics results won't matter anymore?

And yes you are right, its KP. I must've performed poorly during the interviews. unsure.gif

I'm guessing you're either an ACCA affiliate or simply having very good Degree result that time, otherwise none of the big 4 will bother to invite.

I applied when my qualifications were 90% completion, just a matter of time I will officially hold both ACCA affiliate title and Degree, they didn't bother.

Once I officially completed (recently), all of them replied.

As of now KP, EY, BDO rejected me after interview (more or less I know the reason, not prepared enough I guess), pwc is my last shot now.
I would like to ask if you know the reason behind your failures that time? I sincerely hope that I will pass the pwc interview and kickstart my career.

Kindly advise me about the pwc interview if you still remember, thanks!

ps: i'm actually working in other audit firm now, already 2 months, i can leave very soon as the notice period is short so no issue of switching, but will the fact that I worked before adversely affect my chances? I'm afraid they will mistook me as being disloyal.

Be happy you got rejected by BDO.. 100% chinamen company with similar culture and attitude.. not worth the pain unless it’s big4

Good luck for the pwc interview.. show your enthusiasm and willingness to contribute to the team and the form

Kpmg conducted phone interview almost 2 weeks ago then went silent. Should I call the person or keep waiting?
