I rarely find people want to stick to CF for long, hence most treat is as a gateway job to MNC’s M&A dept. To join those, you really need to impress the bosses there you can do deals. For you to do that, you need to be a Qualified Senior Personnel (QSP) working under a Principal Adviser (Ie: Investment Banks). To be a QSP, you need 7 years CF experience + substantial role in advising IPOs, significant acquisitions or regularisation plans.

Working in a Big4 or boutique firm CF will not net you the QSP title. Only IB provides that.

If you want to join a MNC after Big4 or boutique firm, it’s harder as not every MNC/PLC need such a role. Most of the time they will hire bankers anyway so they prefer someone at higher level.

That’s my 2 cents …

Hello everyone. I would like to ask for your opinion.

I have already received an offer from PwC for this September intake as a tax associate.
In my offer letter, it stated that my appointment to the position is subject to my completion of
my Bachelor's degree in good standing and I am required to submit the copy of my final results
immediately upon its release.

Upon receiving my final examination results, I have already emailed the hiring manager.
However, I did not receive any replies from her. It had been 10 working days since the day I emailed her.

Should I call her?
