not just big 4 bro, even mnc outside has hiring freeze and don't backfill positions. that's why lots of job postings are contract roles these days, they don't count as "headcount". anyway big 4 is not hiring experienced locals either, attend your townhalls and check the new joiners list and ask your friends, all say "poor economic outlook so not hiring" and "trimming the existing fat". manager also can't jump from one big 4 to another.

Hanging around partners also dont mean you on partner track naive kid

Can somebody explain why the interns and fresh grads these days doesn't seem to know how to use computers? They literally type like my grandma but just want to treat this as a data entry job yet they can't even do a quality job at it. But we cannot ask them to do better either because "later they tell their fellow students not to join Big 4". How to get audit done if they take one whole day to vouch 20 samples?

I thought big 4 partners got a lot of lobbying power one. last time the managing partner of my big 4 firm love to por gahmen lanpa and he is now BOD in that farking SPH Media together with umbrage ng and penang cow. stupid jlb propaganda company which relies on taxpayers' money to survive.

Audit partners are literally the lousiest lobbyists. Go compare your partners to bankers, lawyers, businessmen and see the quality of their schmoozing. No sales skill needed to be audit partner, deals just fall into their lap by virtue of being Big 4.

Lie flat. Do so fast also same pay. Might as well slowly do.

Everyone uses a smartphone and Macbook these days. Most younger people have never touched a Windows computer so they don't even know that there's such a thing as keyboard shortcuts and have never used Excel. Anyway, these are CCC students so don't expect any critical thinking, drive, initiative, or quality work from them. I'm in a (non-audit) firm where we screen for high GPA so even our interns don't have this issue and are perfectly capable of googling for answers first before asking their seniors.

Best to just lie flat too since even the managers are dead. Just act blur since you still have time till the next PIP, and find a job in the meantime. Don't stay too long in audit because from what I hear, most hiring managers these days don't want candidates without corporate experience because the job market is flooded with candidates.

Zoomers grew up on smartphones and never touched a computer before other than for school. Most can't touch type and don't know how to use a mouse. Big 4 need to step up the training to incorporate tiktok training videos to cater to their short attention spans.
