Good evening everyone. I just received an interview offer with EY for an internship position.

Just want to ask:
What sort of questions the interviewers will ask? (Especially the tough or not-so-common questions)
Would it be as tough as for permanent positions?
How long would the interview be?

Thanks in advance for your answers!

Thanks, but my upcoming interview will be in-person interview, where I'll have to go to their office.
Well, they did call me a few weeks ago, but it's very brief and it was to arrange a face-to-face interview. Don't know whether it is considered a phone interview.

Hi guys, does anyone know about KPMG Dept K? What is their main service line? How is the people in Dept K?

Hi guys, is it normal to get rejected by big 4s lol because i got rejected by 2 of them, another didn’t reply me did not have internship experience - is this the reason they are not accepting me?

Hello, anyone know the salary progression for big 4?

Hihi, how about the time before covid?

Well, pay before Covid-19 is considered as not too bad provided you do not divide by the number of hours you spent in working everyday!
But right now, there are increment cuts, causing MANY MANY to leave. 

Not really sure about the increment changes, but I would say it is more important to fight for promotion and progression, since they tend to halt promotion as well (ie. Associate to Senior, AM to Manager etc). Career progression is much more crucial than the few more hundreds of RM you get per month.

Hi all, I'm currently working in one of the big10 in tax, just got promoted to senior this year Jan, but I'm thinking to switch to audit in big4. I'll definitely get demoted if I do so, but can I ask for increment like 10% of my current salary? I don't have experience in audit so I wonder will they take into account my experience in tax.

Initially why I choose tax was because I think it is very tiring to travel for audit as I like to stay home rather than go out most of the time. After work in tax for some time, I realised the problem with this job 1. What we do mostly depends on the Inland Revenue Board (IRB) , for the tax treatment our judgement is not so important, but rather follow IRB's practice as they will be the one who do tax audit on tax payers. The problem is the IRB gazette order/guideline is always so ambiguous, so we basically if we want to be the top of this area, need to have some relationship with the IRB to make things easier. So I realised this job has no more purpose for me to always follow IRB's practice rather than using my own judgement. 2. While doing tax, we need to understand the business nature  diff types of agreement/doc, the cons of staying in office is that I can't get hands on experience on the business itself, we basically can only imagine what the business do without really experience it.  3. Career progression and salary - initially I am being not confident, I knew that in tax we can be managers up to 10 years, I'm like ok fine, but seeing how my seniors are doing where after 7 years of working but salary not up to RM10K, I decide that this is not for me. Of course in other career, whether I can climb up the ladder is also not guaranteed but I feel like in tax the sky has limit. I plan to gain experience in audit to see the how the business works, then switch to other areas like business consultant where I can design the internal control of the business, which I am more interested in.

The question on why I did not switch earlier. I joined tax last year January as a fresh grad, I had a hard time adjusting to the work, but I managed to get used to work after 6 months. So after I began to settle down I'm thinking to leave already, but I delayed because I thought I want to get through one peak period and see next step. Somehow I just can't get my resume and interview ready because I'm thinking what should I write in my resume so that another company with diff job will take me in with salary increment. I don't know what to write to show that I make an impact to the team. I have ideas to make suggestion to improve the team efficiency/control but I haven't think of a way to present to my boss because am too busy. My previous manager who left this year Jan gave me a very good comment such as initiative, resourceful, great interpersonal skills during performance appraisal. I don't know whether I should ask her to be my referee because she and her husband (another team manager) are good friend with my current manager. I also need to prepare for interview which is very difficult for me because I need to practice a lot in order to do well,  I am just not a natural speaker. That's why drag until now..And why I don't just switch department, is because the benefits for this firm is way too lousy, if I want to go into audit, I might as well work hard in big4, get good benefits and have better exposure too. If I want to switch department, I not sure if my partner will release me too. If you have any idea on what points to include in my resume and interview preparation, appreciate if you can comment on this.
