Will it easy to secure a permanent staff after done intern at any Big 4?

if you perform okay, it should open the door already. personally think they prefer to take someone who already knows their culture.

unless during the intern time, u just go thr and wait time pass

A little heads up for fresh grads interested to join Big4 in SG

I talked with my cousin yesterday, he currently holding a managerial position at one of the Big4. What he told me was basically they didn't take fresh grads from Malaysia already. Reason being 1: stagnant market 2:SG local U pump in sufficient graduates 3:tight MOM regulations

They mostly consider local U top graduates(GPA is the main factor)and  starting salary is 3K sgd++. The current situation is SG Big4  hire experienced individuals with Msia Big4 background. HOWEVER, if you have connection means someone refers you into the firm, u as a fresh grad  can still get a job in SG Big4.

cheers.

glad to hear that. in msia big for for 4th year already. hoping to join sg big four soon thumbup.gif

what field are you in? tax? audit? im in tax btw.

toughest time is when gst comes in during the planning and implementation period. lack of manpower.

prepare yourself mentally. you are there to learn so be ready to clock in extra hours rclxms.gif

usually they will prepare a mentor to guide you laugh.gif

If you're aiming to go to SG big 4.. Start applying early. That will give you time to apply 2-3 rounds before your planned move date and will give you time to look for other opportunities. Would be good if you have contacts within that can refer you in as well..

It's never easy for tax professionals to move to the big 4 unless you have good achievements in your resume imho

Thanks for the heads up. Im in msia for another one year at least. Will bear that in mind when i apply. Currently looking to be involved in tp or advisory work for better cv before making the move
