Year1 Associate mostly doing easy section like (cash and bank, PPE, Operating Expenditure and helping senior to vouch TOC samples), it wont be too hard to cope with.

Hours shouldnt be long for year 1 associate.

Year 1 associate here in KPMG penang. Due to super high turnover rate and all the seniors leaving, we have to do literally all sections except inventory. Interns replace our job in that sense. Unhealthy workforce where year 1 associates >50% of total workforce (AM & below), some more partner still take in more and more engagements without increasing the workforce.

I guess u give and take, where everyday u got loads of new info coming in and u need to cope as fast as lightning. The formal training is way more slower than what we had already learn informally.

overall the experience is beneficial if you are ok with learning new things every 2 weeks or so, given u deal with different clients of different industry (i.e some aunties u need to sweettalk them so u get the info u need). stress is there everyday and it gets larger and larger. if u want a steady pace of learning + training maybe consider other firms

I saw a lot of people here worrying about that entry possibility to big 4. Actually i think its quite easy to get in LOL. With that being said, i was offered KPMG Penang & EY Penang previously. Two of my friends with the same degree as mine got into PWC Penang, while another friend joined EY KL.

Is the big 4 grind worth it? Maybe if you don't mind working 16 hours a day and nobody appreciates your work after all. Partner cares about their profit sharing, managers care about upholding their "prestigious" status.

But i still reckon people to join audit, not necessarily big 4 cause i know in KL they put you into a specific industry like my fren at EY KL who is doing only financial/banking industry. You get no chances to go other places which are the fun part of audit. One time i ended up in some oil palm plantation farm in Johol (no typo).

Hi guys, need your advices here

I'm in the midst of preparing for my final year exam and will be graduating this July. My concern is that I don't have any internship/working experience (not required to go for internship as per university requirement), so should I apply for internship  first or full-time job?

- I will receive 9 Acca exemption papers from my uni and and will have to complete further 4 Advanced papers later.

- some people said as it's very hard to find job nowadays, I shouldn't waste my time seeking internship and as it is only for 6 months, you'll be involved in doing more admin work and are rarely involved in more 'detailed' works compared to FT employee.

- the pay is also different for interns and FT employee

Please advice me guys. Should I apply for internship after my final exam or straightaway seek for FT job? I'm interested to go into auditing first btw and hope to get sponsored by the company for ACCA, get bonded and move to commercial but in much later years.

Thanks!
*
Full time, cause if you wanna get bonded internship doesn't count in the 4 years of bond

and pay is different why get 1k when you can get 3k
