Hi guys, I am a recent graduate with an accounting degree and I have also passed my ACCA (with ATX and AFM as my choice of optional paper).

I have some questions and I highly appreciate any replies.


1. Is it better for me to join their graduate programme first instead of applying for association position if I am unsure of which path I need to take (in terms of tax, audit, advisory...)
If anyone has any experience in regards to the Big4 graduate programme, could you share your experience?

2. Is the work-life balance better in advisory/consultancy as compared to tax and external audit?

Hi, congratulations on your new job. I wanna ask whether you joined EY's audit associate as a fresh graduate (with no prior experience) or experienced hire. Could u also share what questions were asked during the interview process?

Thank you in advance. I am hesitant to apply for EY because I was recently rejected by other 2 Big 4 firms (one main reason is that I have no prior experience or internship as compared to other candidates, although I have completed my degree and ACCA papers)

Job search has been harsh, especially during this pandemic.. I'm even thinking to apply for internship first just to gain experience first.
