Every year they employ alot of NTU accountancy graduates. My sis is one of them. After 1 - 2 years a lot will run road cuz the workload is crazy especially during peak periods. The pay will jump quite a lot if you stay long but then rise until certain position is cannot go up unless the managers move
All assistant manager and manager every year got target to hit one. It is rated in terms of say 600K worth of contracts. So if you so good do one deal land that amount then the whole year can relax abit else must accept alot of deals to fulfill requirements.
Btw, my sis now AM still must do the auditing stuff in case the junior c.ock up. These managers last time is auditors also so in case emergencies they need to do what their ka kia is doing unlike my IT line when some ppl come in be leader but dunno coding -

I am good english speaker and writer. I comes here to research entering of Big4. We have the internet this age where by information can be gathered at the keyboard and LCD.
Pleaish help me! -

But looking at the hours you put it on the work, the salary is not high enough. Imagine working close to 12 hours work on a day. My sis take back the work home and do. Like that how to socialise and for married women how to do and get a child like wat our gahmen encouraged? Also a lot of social activities are out of the question during peak period
Lull period they force you to clear all your leave. Only tat period you are free.
Forget to add on the main office is open table concept means who come who occupy the available seat first. Only certain senior ppl seats are so called reserved. You at main office means no work to do. All who got work to do are at the client sites. Don't be surprised auditor need go warehouse do stock take leh.
Btw, sometimes big clients offer sell you their products at discounted price. Imagine a whole carton of fresh mangoes. Go china even better clients treat you restaurant everyday. They cannot bribe you with money but they give you intangible benefits. -
Thank you sohguan for the invaluable information. I am happy to read it.

me...
PWC
for attachment only -
Master can you share with me your invaluable experience of working in a Big4? There is no neccessary to declare private information. I just want to prepare how it is like to be inside such coporation.
On attachment does that say you will be soon joining them as a perm? -
FYI:
don't expect big paycheck upon joining as a perm. junior staff
expect to work LONG hours
must be independant
able to take stress
must be articulate
must be team player -
Thank you qwaszx. I seen that i can fulfil those.
There is one part, how is the intelligent levels there? Is the place with scorers of high marks in their degree? The scorers who know their accounting standards and prodecures like the book in their hands?
As a person i am good for what you wrote but the accounting while i have qualifications but no experience to deal with real situations. The books they taught we know is not the same in life. -
my cousin in big 4..this audit job is either slack or super busy..no in between one..

i think everyone who manages to get into the big4 are just normal ppl although academic results does play a part when HR filters through the tonnes of CV received
but don't be disheartened if you do not have a super degree, if you have the relevant professional cert. in accounting and such, you'll stand a chance

I beg to differ. If you rise so high up the next would be partner but then how many ppl are given the chance to be partner? Dun follow the footsteps of the goner MNC called Ander.... -
