If you like working until 2 am daily, working on weekends, and on public holidays while your friends are out enjoying themselves, then audit might be for you. However, you might wonder why you are working so hard yet earning less than the average fresh graduate. your neighbours can enjoy themselves, buy condos, cars etc, but you can't do those things. Is it worth it?
Of course, some will say that if you're in it for the money, you shouldn't join audit. So, do we join audit for passion or for the overtime life? Ridiculous.
As for the SCAQ, its value has decreased now. It's not necessary to have it or to stick it out for three years in Big 4 firms. I don't think hiring managers specifically look for it.
