are u sure 10-15% more?

Sure

all Big4s in KL's starting pay is ranged between 2100-2300.

went for deloitte's interview last week n kpmg's interview tis afternoon. stressed laa.... waiting their reply with agony

which dept oyu applying for ??? hope you pass the aptitude test?

how is their interview? wat are we supposed to do? anything accounting tests?

there's some tests you need to take for Deloitte... KPMG there's not tests just interview.

The title got me confused. I thought you all talking about this Big 4. I am interested in working for them though.

I think PWC is the best
I have friends in KPMG, E&Y and Deloitte. No complaints from them either

i think for all the big 4, there'll be peak and off-peak periods. there'll be times when u work til early morning for weeks/months and times when u can take leave for a few weeks/months in a row. either way big 4 is the way to go in terms of exposure to bigger clients. better job prospects in the future as well. as an auditor PWC / EY would be the best places to go based on the clients they have.

how bout for tax? which company shd we go in?

My company offer RM2100 for entry level. But if you have a first class honour, you will get RM2300. and if you are award winner, you will get more than that.

i applied assurance for both firms.


i sat for 3 assesment tests for both firms respectively, and i find kpmg is slightly difficult than deloitte's.

still waiting for their reply though, waiting wif agony

I do not agree with working with a small firm you can "learn" more.. This is merely a perception. Me myself intern with one of the big four and a small-medium audit firm. Both work load is the same. Just the seniors and the methodology is different. So it depends on your own. But i would highly suggest a big four firm for an entry in fresh level is better than a small medium size firm.

Let's say you join Chan & Lee Associates - a small medium size accounting firm. Then when after 3 to 5 years, you are bored with audit and you resigned hoping to look for a multinational company for an top accounting post. Here comes the dilemma for the multinational company. Say 2 people apply for the job. One is you and the other is from one of the big four. The multinational company will of course hire the guy from big four since it is the BIG FOUR rather than Chan & Lee Associates. So this is also the perception of the company.

Since big four and a small medium size firm has the same work load. Why worry? Go for big four if you can. Good luck and cheers!
