Pls, you can just go to the top JCs like Raffles and HCI and ask any random top scoring A Level student how many seriously wanna study accounting and join Big 4. They will laugh in your face. These guys are going to Harvard, MIT, Oxbridge, LSE on PSC scholarships or to study medicine law or PPE and hopefully land jobs in strat consulting or IB or FAANG. Some high level jobs requiring higher order thinking.

Audit is really a path for the third rate or fourth rate students and grads, same calibre as the jhks from tonkotsu ramen uni
Haha cannot like that say la, every profession deserves respect. In audit if u reach the more senior levels, will still do the more higher order thinking part like forecasting expected credit loss and accounting estimates etc. This kind requires more thinking and is beyond vouching.. too bad the people here mainly have the bad experience of just doing pure vouching without understanding like the intern... or have toxic colleagues.

Yes, the people there might not be that good now but it is still too harsh to label all of them as incompetent like that stupid intern who just everything copy paste. There are still nice people whom i know in the past who are still inside.
