During peak period, yes there is longer hours. If you want on the dot 9 - 5, then better join other industry.

Well, just be assured that your resume will be enhanced if you have big 4 experience. Tahan and stay at least two years to gain most benefits. Also Big 4 will send you for your professional certs. Untung lagi.

Either one is okay. Personally (my choice) I will go for EY.

For me, EY and PwC are the bigger of the bog 4 audit firms. The bigger they are the larger the clientele and better your experiences with going to more clients and also having a bigger internal team. With that said, can be quite distant internally but that is how you perceive it.

Opportunity to go up is also there as there is a bigger pool to fill in all levels.

The professional certification, dont have to say lah. The big 4 will always push for this and support you as well.

For me after Deloitte was involved with 1MDB, I'll be a bit skeptical to join. Anyway, that my 2 cents.
