Currently not getting accepted for all those management associate programmes so abit sian (barely 2nd upper)
For context I will be going financial service so would joining Banks as entry level staff be better? (e.g. Treasury, AML, Credit, etc.)

They pay u 3.6k and expect u to work from 8am to 5pm (first shift), 6pm to 2am (second shift). Be ready! We currently lack seniors so you should expect 200% exposure as you will be leading jobs and meeting clients on your own. If u didnt have audit experience, your intern will outshine you as they have more to prove.
Dont cry when u have backlogs with your managers, your partners, your seniors, your clients breathing down your throat. for 3.6k is not worth it. There is no springboard by going to the big 4 because everyone else has big 4 experience (locally or malaysia). But u will do worst if u don't have that experience. So its a norm now. What you should do is to NEVER fall into the big 4 rat race, you should do something that isn't accounts
