If you want to get to Big4 SG,
1) Contacts, the higher rank the better. If you unable to get from Big4 SG, get from Big4 MYS. Try get partner to recommend it will be much easier.
2) Performance appraisal for Big4’s are similar, if you get good ranking, they will more likely to consider even from different firm
3) Relevance of experience: Audit is easiest but tax and advisory very difficult unless you have direct experience in advisory or good contacts.
4) Position: Most get position cut or promotion withheld so negotiate properly. Jumping at senior level is easier but very tiring for you. You have to adapt to sg system which is not really similar
On the other regional office, I think JB is very popular for the staff but HQ always have the larger exposure
Lastly on the “guaranteed”, depends on you lo. Most can get if they really put effort into getting there by doing the things I highlight above. Think properly though, getting there is easy. Staying there for long is different matter.
And ….. most employers will likely ignore your pre-working credentials (qualifications, sports, …).
1) Getting recommendation from partner is kind of impossible because you know, they always want to retain staff. Haih. Furthermore, Im doing audit for high profile client - recurring job.
2) Do they consider that maybe they get good ranking because they do small and easy jobs?
3) Thats good news for us
4) Dont really care if they downgrade, just need in total 3 years min.
Should i move to RO and have higher chance of getting better appraisal because auditing there would be easier due to smaller companies?
I have heard that they do hire a lot from big 4 JB while some auditors at big4 KL could not get in(seniors-even high performers).
I always thought that if they have 2 similar candidates, they would always prefer those from KL, because of the exposure.
Wondering whats the real reason, what went wrong.
Thanks so much for your reply
