will big4 pay for acca annual subscription?

No, its not. More disciplined and punctual is more like it.

The people there start work at 8.30. In Malaysia, some reach at like 10am also like normal thing. Lol.

U mean they dun hv to work till the wee hrs? For all dept?

  had a boring interview with a fresh grad candidate.

Her voice is so soft until i have to ask her to speak louder.

Note to others: Do some research on big 4 before going for interview.

Anyone applying big 4 Singapore recently? Wondering anyone get shortlisted for interview here.

Should I try for internship before finishing ACCA? Take a break after P1 - P3 and work a bit before going back?

Parents keep telling me to go study all the way, but some tell me to work before doing P7 and P6 - is this a good idea?

when they pay bonus? feb?

Any advice on how to get into SG Big 4 as a Malaysian fresh grad?

Anyone working in Pwc financial services assurance? Is their pay different with general assurance?

PwC KL (FS) vs KPMG SG (General)
AM vs Senior

Which would you choose?

Wonder how quick can one be promoted as Manager and Senior Manager.
Managers in Big 4 should be young.

Career progression for average performer, can be faster or slower depending on performance:
From fresh grad to senior - 2 years
From senior to AM - 2 years
From AM to M - 2 years
From M to SM - 2 years

After that is very much by merit and whether or not the bosses like you

Personally I've met a 4.5 year manager but the poor girl burnt out quickly and I'm guessing basically does not have the emotional maturity to handle managerial role. Sometimes it's not a good thing to expedite promotion even if the person is a star performer.

I always thought the motivation to stay in the firm is that one day they can leave (to a better place), quite ironic.

That’s the problem with you new generations. Easily get upset on stuffs like this. You should consider yourself lucky that they gave u a chance to explain why u fail and how u overcome it. Instead of honestly telling what was the problem u faced and how did u overcome it, u blew ur chance.

A suprising thing was, u realised that you do not have a good results, but you weren’t expecting or prepared to answer questions about your results. How are the big4 gonna hire u if u cant show them u are prepared? There are alot of 1st class graduate applying for the job and they need to know WHY they must pick u.

Nowadays the audit managers dont really give a shit about whether you are 1st class or 2nd lower. What matter the most is we give, u deliver. You’ll be suprised how many of my so called 1st class juniors can’t even do a simple financial statements tie-outs.

For the record, PWC would have just stopped the conversation once they heard u failed a subject.
