I wonder if a non big 4 firms / mid tier in sg is really “value added” for you to get a higher post. Tbh I think the workload / working style for MY Big 4 and SG Big 4 actually quite similar. IMO don’t think that 1 year exp associate in SH Big4 is being considered as a first year SA here in MY Big 4, what’s more if you are from SG mid tier
