Eh, at least you tried. I know a person who failed 1 time and quit laugh.gif

Nowadays too much tax experts out there already. Soon auditors will also be over-supply tongue.gif

Luckily, the quit ratio for Auditors are high as hell tongue.gif

Most people don't know the "feel" when they wake up every morning to rush to office to meet deadlines and getting pressured left, right and center to issue the report despite not having enough work done on it

Can't get me anywhere in my current industry.

An understanding of CA 1950 + a degree to proof that you can understand the Act properly is more than enough in my field.

You don't really get a pay raise and legal department has their own team so they'd prefer if you don't share your opinions unless it's related to your job scope.

Sadly, Law is not the thing for my field.
Get a book keeping job.

Bro,
Why you find Law not for you ? Share with me here. Thanks.

ACCA salary very transparent one....

Unable to complete see your highest qualification. If diploma, 2k or so. Degree, 2,5k onward. But don't hope to enter Big 4 without any professional qualification nowadays. They are really being strict due to too much account graduates in the market.

Don't have accounts basic is okay. I don't know anything about accounts till I was 20. And I am still learning every day laugh.gif

Think they still hire many Accounting graduates both from local and foreign universities without professional qualifications ? Correct me if I am wrong.

Coz I'm not Sri Ram Gopal, Edmund Bon and other famous lawyers.

I'll probably make pennies on the dollars while rising from a commercial law firm....

By the time I make junior partner, I might be 35 or 40 already.

No connections, no clientele, no famous father = seriously a bad idea to join law firms.

Unlike Audit, where everyone starts from ZERO and get bashed all the way to be HEROES.

Thou I must note, not all make it to HERO level.
Not really.

Big 4 not hiring much nowadays. Even most local degree holders are getting rejected in favor of those holding professional qualifications.

Small firms, no comments la. Not much regulations in some field but foreign grad can't be MIA members unless uni are recognized or taken another form of professional exams.

Thanks for the feedback. I have been in discussion which route to take lately.
As for law practice isn't everyone has to learn the rope in acquiring knowledge and experience. For example, clientele and connections ? I don't think rich father will get you far if you are no good at your work ?

A rich father will get you to places a normal person could not.

See how Dr. M's son milked his father's name until become director for so many Public Listed companies?

I'm not going to elaborate on this matter but I personally dealt with many pretty ladies in large corporate environment that are bad in doing what they are supposed to do while their counterparts which are less "pretty" seems to be stagnant in terms of promotions and appraisals.

So yes, a rich father and a nice pair of ass gets you to places, if you can milk it. To what end, I don't think I need to explain.

Work smart, not hard.

I believe this applies to Big 4 as well ?
