Dude I had the same problem with you, since i failed 1 subject in uni, i got the exact same questions EVERY TIME in the interviews , include the interview with EY recently. This is not a difficult questions tho, just said about the reason ( eg: didn't aware the gap between year 2 and year 3), solution ( change study method/ study hard) and result ( didn't fail again even in ACCA). You can said any reason but please don't blame the lecturer as it will make you sound immature.

The interviewer doesn't mean to challenge you or add add salt to your wound, they just want to know how you deal with your mistake and failure. Just take it easy

I interview with EY at 28th Oct , and i get reply today. I think you will get reply within 2 week. Good Luck

Congratz! I Start 4th dec and I apply for audit depart

The salary package in big 4 normally is standard and non- negotiable ( at least for fresh graduate)

From the information i get in 2017

EY : 3000 + 250 (ACCA Affiliate) 100 % sure
: 2850 + 250 ( Degree Holder) heard from my friend

PwC : 3200 ( ACCA Affiliate) heard from my friend

KPMG & Deloite : dont know but quite sure will be 3K + for ACCA Affiliate

Normally ACCA Affiliate will get RM 150 more than Degree Holder.
Feel free to update and correct me

I interviewed with pwc last Thursday , I would said it is a challenging behavioral interview , the director have many question about you past experience, about how you dealing with different culture, how you giving feed back to others, how you organize people, do you like account, why your result no so good in certain sem, if people against your opinion what will you do....she keep giving a lot of scenario and ask you how you deal with it. Not very difficult , but you have to give a lot of your story to convince her, quite challenging ( if compare with EY one ,EY is just like a chit chat session)

Since I interned in pwc before, so I skipped the assessment test, other candidate have to do the assessment test and write essay before interview

I think is not a problem you working now, I also working in a small audit firm just one month when I go interiew. They do ask me about my current job.I just tell them the truth but it seem they didn’t bother it and they offer me the job

For the tip, just look back to your life, what success,failure, difficulty you had meet and how you deal with it. Not just academic one, but also curriculum , peer relationship and other aspect. In my opinion, if it come to interview stage ,big 4 interview for fresh graduate not bother about academic ady, they care about you attitude and how you deal with different scenario. Be confident and good luck

I interviewed at 16 nov, they told me they will revert to me in 10 days. However I told them I have to reply to EY offer on 21 nov and also have to resign from my current job around these day if I want to join pwc in Jan they said they will consider about it. At 20 nov morning, I leave an email to HR ask about their hiring decision since I have to reply EY next day, and the HR call me at evening and offer me the job. I believe that if you have any issue about the date you can tell them

In my opinion, since you can reach interview stage, the academic qualification not bothered you anymore. The interviewer more concern your attitude, communication skill and willingness to join the company. During my intern time, I have many senior haven’t complete their ACCA qualification yet, so don’t worry. Good luck

PwC offered me the permanent job position instead of the 4 month one. If they offered me the 4 month contract I will choose EY directly, haha, I don’t like to take the risk.

I choose PwC because I have good internship experience there and PwC have the Industry Xplorer program for fresh graduate, which give me a chance to try different industry. However both EY and PwC are good tho, PWC just my own preference

Nop, cause my cgpa just 3.3, I think PwC Requirement is 3.0 , if not mistaken

They didn’t give technical question at all, all behavioral question. The interviewer will have a evaluation form and they will ask the question and give mark on it

The interview is quite serious, not like chit chatting. You can’t answer the question too general, you have to give them example, like the question do you have experience working with people that have different culture? You can’t just answer yes I do, you have to give her the whole story. They do ask me about why you result drop in certain sem, I have to tell the truth and tell them what I learn from it and what the changes I made. The most difficult question I have is do I apply accounting standard on any event, I just tell them I just start working and till now ... no

In short, you have to be yourself, those answer is all about your past experience and is difficult to faked a story that moment

I also interned 2 years ago haha. I just apply through their portal as others do. At first they asked me if I interested with the 4 month contract, but during phone screening they offered me the permanent position , I don’t know why
