My bro just finished studying in uni. He haven't got his completion letter yet so he still can't apply as permanent staff in most companies. He got an offer to do internship at Deloitte. However, he also received an offer to work in a small accounting firm near our house as permanent staff, the salary is 2.4k. He wanna go for the small firm because he can't wait any longer to earn money. But I advice him to go for Deloitte since he got high chance to be absorbed as permanent, and the salary will be much higher. Any opinion guys?

My sis went thru that...

Its gonna be shit for the first few years... Big 4 KNOWS ppl need to have their name in the resume... so they will work you like slaves. Even once u get into a permanent position they will STILL work u like slaves...

Big 4 dont treat u well until u get up to certain position, so either you tough it out,... or work a few years and have their name/experience in your resume before bailing just like 90% of the people does..

you'll need to be prepared for the long working hours la, especially audit.

Tsk tsk tsk .. I belong to the current generation too.. some of my friends are having super high salary with MNCs or investment banks.  but the really work like dog man. Weekends also need work and night time also need work from home . I guess the high pay is justified by the hard work

Well most of the itme when you have a big pay cheque, it will come with equal volume of target....

Sure you can relax and slack off, but if you dont meet the target off you go...

This is especially evident in the banking sector... miss the target for a single year.. and my acquaintance got kicked out
