First job advice needed (Accounting student)
Hi all, final year student from one of the local uni acct programs. Currently FCH.
Internship experiences include a Risk advisory stint at a Big 4. Think internal audit and enterprise risk mgmt implementation. Not rly a fan of Big 4 cos of the long hours and low starting pay but all my peers, bc of old mindset reasons, want to go b4 so i do feel a bit of peer pressure there.
Should i go for big 4 again or MNCs/Banks as my first job? For MNCs, I am looking more at Management Associate Programmes and for Banks, I am looking at Risk Management/Compliance roles. Also, how difficult is it to get those roles?
Thanks all

Big 4 is **** pay for long hours. Go for MA programs, FCH should be easy to get interviews.

Doesn’t matter which function. And it’s arguably better than their consulting/TAS arms too. With the only exceptions being their strat arms (MD, S& etc)

Agree with this as well. Go for banks or MNC MA - much better prospects for you and treated less disposable.
