just my perspective
but i would think that it has to do with the interview?
your education level/cgpa must have reach their expectations thats why you were able to reach until the interview phase

qualifications doesnt necessarily mean only academic right 

reading from the posts here, it seems that if you have gotten to the interview stage, they would have based their decisions on everything else other than academics
like your attitude and personality through your performance in the group test, f2f and essay writing (my guess is that its kpmg)

Well it happens but just take it as learning experience to perform better in other interviews! Good luck to!

Don’t me Asking.. can you remember the timeline? Eh: when u applied /assessment date/ call for interview/interview date/ reply of interview results

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

just a bit curious
but is it true that the minimum cgpa for pwc is 3.5?
cause i heard from a senior and some friends that other than pwc the other firms only require around 3.0 to 3.2

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

Went to pwc interview, the interview lasted about 15 or 20 min, all the questions i know how to answer because i was fully prepared this time, but i noticed:

1. I was expecting more questions from him, such as why pwc, current firm experience, strength weaknesses, why audit, work with different culture or not, what's the length of bus/airplane etc. But he didn't ask, good sign or bad?

2. One positive sign i heard is to have 1 hour interview, mine didn't last that long, is it bad?

3. His smile was bright while inviting me to room, but during the interview he's not smiling, I'm not sure whether he's just being serious, or he's getting turned off by me. Because at the beginning of introducing myself i may seem like i memorized the words beforehand, I'm not sure if this is no no. But overall i would say i presented myself very well.

Please advice, i have mixed feelings about the outcome

No technical at all even though I'm working as an auditor in another firm now.
Ask about your background / tell me about yourself, some stories to prove what you said is true, that's it.

ACCA affiliate everywhere lols, not special anymore

Still waiting result, after today means officially after 1 week, expect to know next week, if no I'll call, curious too how long they'll reply.

Congrats bro. Permanent or the 4 months contract?

While you can sign the offer letter, scan it and email back to them, regardless what, they need your original signature copy as their evidence of employing you.

if one of the big4 postpones your interview, is that a bad sign? my friend was telling me this is a sign that they will cancel my interview later on since they probably found a better candidate whild another told me if they wanted to cancel on me they would have just said so to not waste resources and time.

i’m from outstation and when i was told to come for the assessment in their kl office early this mont, i had to spent around rm500 (flight + boarding) to fly into kl the next day and stayed a night for the assessment the following day.

so when they informed me of the interview (again, 2 days later) i requested for another date since we were told that there were a range of dates to choose from though you could request another date during the assessment.

after 3-4days i tried calling and ended up sending an email to follow up. i was later informed by email that my interview was postponed and if successful, would join the next intake instead.

any thoughts?
