QUOTE(tatabahasa @ Jan 22 2016, 10:05 PM) Attempted pwc's numerical test but only managed to answer 18 out of 28 questions. Does it mean its hard to pass? Hi tatabahasa. Do u mind to share your experience on the assessment and numerical test? And hi everyone hehe. Im new here in this forum. I have been offered for international assignment service - personal tax, do u guys have any advice and tips for this career path? I just completed my degree and have no experience in tax areas. I really want the experience and exposure, specifically in big four, but dont mind which firm hehe. I just hope there are positive outcomes for this path. Thank you

QUOTE(stevendefool @ Feb 23 2017, 02:37 PM) Personal tax is a very niche area, you will really need to understand the Income Tax Act, it will be your bible. So if you are ok with that, go for it. Anyways, which group are you being offered to join? CST or SDC? I just did the assessment, waiting for the result for an interview then i will know which dept of tax i will be placed. But im thinking to get into tax area specifically in research parts, reading writing reports etc etc. I still need to study a lot bout tax and which dept to choose. Do u have any suggestion?

QUOTE(stevendefool @ Mar 2 2017, 06:41 PM) Sorry to hear that, not true that big 4 always hire overseas grad. Lots of local grads too. I'm one of them  Did you applied to other big 4 as well? I applied for other big four too but still dont get any email or calls. Are u from private uni or public uni? This post has been edited by jimmyniki: Mar 2 2017, 06:49 PM

QUOTE(mybbxt @ Mar 2 2017, 07:07 PM) But going to oversea is mainly because they are rich, doesn't mean they have better personality or qualification. I agree w this but some of my friends (oversea grad) are pandai also haha and their parents afford to send them abroad. Myb that is their advantage. I just want to know for the local grad, how can we overcome this challenge. I would take it as a challenge, not disadvantage haha.

QUOTE(stevendefool @ Mar 3 2017, 12:20 AM) Private uni. Maybe can try applying mid tier first? Anyways, did they gave you any reasons for why you were not able to advance to the interview?

Myb bcs the stop recruiting people. I dont know haha i need job mannn haha
