QUOTE(MrSnorlax @ Apr 30 2017, 06:46 PM) Highly depending on your engagement projects and the senior manager in charge of the projects.9:30am - Reach client's office or HQ (depending on where you are posted) > Check emails > Continue to finish deliverables/tasks that haven't been completed yet. > Manager calls the team to meeting room to assign new tasks > Complete old tasks and new tasks from boss 12pm-1pm - Lunch, usually fast and furious because time is essence especially in client's office (Client don't pay you tokcok) > Complete old tasks and new tasks > Suddenly manager say need to go back HQ because meeting > Go back HQ for meeting > Complete old tasks and more new tasks in HQ > Go back client's office because client meeting > Complete old tasks and more more new tasks from clients 8pm - Realize I spent too much time working and my deliverables are piling up. > Wish I just die > Contemplate suicide > Try to finish old tasks so I don't have to die tomorrow 9pm - Go home and rest. Normally, you will be working in a team of around 4-5 people for 1 engagement. Advisory is NOTHING like Audit. It is fast paced and must easily adapt to the situations. Your work is very VERY important to the team because everyone is dependent on everyone. If you can't send me your deliverables I can't work on my deliverables, and thus the tasks cannot be completed and kena scolded by boss later on. Also you will be facing your clients most of the time and spend a lot of time in client's office. Advisory peeps will be working with slides most of the time. Our methodology, excel > words > powerpoint. We do all the rough work using excel, send our deliverables through words, and finally transfer all the work to the slides to present to the client. If you want to know more about especially about the firm I interned and more questions feel free to PM me! This post has been edited by Financier: May 1 2017, 03:49 PM |

Happened to many of my friend who consulted for large O&G company. The moment he tendered the resignation, offer began to come in from former advisory engagements' clients. QUOTE(Win Win Inspiration @ May 2 2017, 08:59 AM) Good morning mate! Intern and real life advisory is rather different.Your role sounds super interesting (despite the challenges). Is that a Finance Advisory role? Intern does most of the ground and paper work while as a staff, you spend more time "solving" the issue. Eg - Client want to reduce a certain cost center but yet not to affect the entire operations. Advisory staff - Find out how to fulfill that particular request. Intern - Compile Advisory's staff finding and submit for their perusal.

I believe Big 4 is perhaps more lenient compared to smaller firms where the manager would actually make noise if you go back early.There's always the option of entering commercial anyways |
