unfortunately i did not have the privilege to study overseas xD
does that mean i stand no chance even for mid or small firms? confused.gif

my intention is just to work there 2-4yrs and save and leave. and gain experience as well of cuz

from what i saw in my firm ( one of the midtier) in the past few month,

the fresh graduates who joined were mostly local graduate (NUS,NTU ,UOL or ACCA )student.



Btw, just spam your resume, no harm trying

Go join the crowd catching Pokemon. It's fascinating how so many people can withstand standing under the hot sun catching Pokemon (ie. Vivocity open roof area). Tried once few weeks back. My lousy phone showed warning saying that the device temp has gotten too hot doh.gif Insaneeeee

Lol, such service is also run by Qistna express also for ur good info. cheapskette will see so cheap so buy it at first

They will use starmart express bus, then drop off some bitches at larkin, then exchange to a LOCAL express bus (can be 2+1 or 2+2 if unlucky) before continuing journey. sometimes got dropoff at seremban city area which wastes more time.

so far the best combination is first coach (star vista direct to subang parade for my case la nearest to home). causewaylink express also not bad. Aeroline out of budget
*
best combo is first coach as they use elite highway and non stop.
but sold out very fast and dont have much timing.

subscribe umobile P70 (15gb ) for RM70 and free data roaming (under starhub) in Singapore.

Graduated from UM. Looking for corporate advisory, management consulting, or corporate finance kind of jobs. what's the probability?  biggrin.gif

Try singapore big4 firm , your chances will be low if you are fresh grad

i would advise, if you dont get any call/ offers now, try to apply malaysia's big4s / big consulting firms , then constantly looking for SG job.

All the best !

Hi guys.

What are the chances for fresh graduates getting corporate advisory/corporate finance jobs at professional services firms like Big 4, Accenture, etc. in Singapore?

Please share how if you did. That'd be great.

Thanks and cheers
*
Low, based on my observation in one of the mid tier audit firm. They prefer local grads (NTU,NUS,SMU,SIM, or even UOL) for fresh graduate for the associate position.

Hey thanks bro. Do you think that referral from internal associate would usually work for Malaysians?

I'm assuming you're working at one of the professional services firms. Please let me know if you have time for a brief phone call, at your convenience. That'd be great.

Thanks a lot
