Hi guys, I am a fresh graduate looking for audit associate position in Big4s as well as Medium size firm.

May I know what is the processing time for Application for most of the mid-term firm like Mazars, Bakertilly or Crowe Horwath ?

Besides, Is it possible for me to apply for audit associate position if I don't possessed my own transport? I am staying far away from the big firms and it takes me approximately 1 hour to work if happens that they recruit me.

Really need some advice on this. Much appreciate if you can give some feedback on this

Was planning to own a car after few months of working as currently I just graduated. Need sometime to save for downpayment .
Anyway, thank you so much for the advise

Thanks for the comment guys.

Earlier due to transportation problem I have applied analyst account receivables position in a MNC and they have arrange an interview with me on next Monday. Salary offered is 2.45k and is located nearer to my house as compared to KL. This is the only pros if I happens to be recruited by them.

Now my main concern is I am afraid that this position would not beneficial for my future career as the company do not prepare full sets of account by their own, which means I will be only focus on doing Account Receivables part only. Besides, if I work in commercial company, the exposure is much narrow as compare to an auditor.

I have sent my application earlier this week to mid-size audit firm in KL which can be reached by taking public transport and is currently waiting for their reply.

I am now in dilemma of choosing commercial firm and audit firm. If the interview on next Monday go smooth and they decided to hire me, should I accept the offer? or I should wait for the career opportunity to be an auditor. Really need some advice on this.

Hey there,

May I know how long is your travelling time to office? Is an hour of travelling time to KL using LRT is consider long for you?
And do you encounter any problem when you work overtime (e.g: OT until mid night, LRT has closed)?

This is my main concern regarding working in KL. I don't mind working long hour, just that if I was to OT until midnight, how am I going back home?

Ya I have done my research on the company location before I sent I application as I don't possess my own transport.

Thank you for the information btw

Then should I wait for the reply from the application I sent to medium firm and reject the interview at MNC? I personally have strong passion in audit and the obstacles is that I don't own a car.

I have rejected the MNC interview as I definitely wouldn't accept this job.

I actually only hope to get into medium firm. My cocu wasn't good enough to enter into big firm.

Anyone of you heard of russell bedford? I am looking for medium size firm which located nearby lrt. Any suggestions ?

Thank you for the info! And I think all i can do now is just wait for their call or reply

Ohh! I feel relieved after seeing your comment! I am planning to get a car asap after my job is stable. Thank you for the comment!

I see. Then I shouldn't worry about transport anymore and just start applying audit firms in KL. Thanks for the sharing! Anyway may I know which firm you're in now?

Because I'm staying really far away from the audit firms in KL. It took me approximately 1 hour 15min to reach there and I have been advised by my friend not to do so . However, now I have made up my mind to be in audit line. I would rather do something that I like than something I don't !

Mind to tell which firm you're in now?

Hi guys, I received a call from mazars on 7th August offering me audit assistant position. Until today they have not call me to collect offer letter. Should I call back to ask about it or they will hands in the offer letter to me on the first day of work?
