Accounting, 200. Considering my working hours halved, it's not too bad. I think senior accountant roles don't pay very well in SG because the max recruiters gave me was 5.5k.

hahahahah

when we ask partner why never hire people, they say got ah, if resume good we hire... but somehow all the experienced folks running away from EY aren't good enough? at this stage i'm thinking of jumping out even if i have to take a paycut...

Hi all, I'm looking for some advice.

I have been working in Management Consulting for a number of years. It's a job that I've never felt comfortable doing because of my impostor syndrome (having to speak to Senior Management on topics I have only heard of the day before has been taking a toll on my mental health).

I am thinking of making a switch to Internal Audit because:
1. There is an audit methodology to fall back on, and industry practices to benchmark against
2. Based on what my IA friends have told me, Internal Auditors have more authority (they are paid to review and question their clients' practices)

I am just wondering, being parachuted into the industry, how difficult would it be to pick up the IA knowledge? Also, are there any resources I can read up on so that I don't go into my first day completely clueless?

For further background, I graduated with an Accounting degree, but I have not done accounting for more than 5 years already.

Thank you so much for any advice anyone can give!

Just go Google, you've work in MC for 5 years but don't know how to be resourceful and Google answers for technical questions yourself?

Your 1st reason for wanting to switch is fine because some people understandably don't want to think critically and just want to grade against the marking scheme. 2nd reason for wanting to switch is insane. Authority?

That guy has issues and calls everyone he disagrees with a jhk renter. Houses are cheap in SG yet that guy seems to think he's the only one with a house in SG. Lots of us have houses but we just act poor because there's a lot of green eyed monsters at the workplace, no point earning their jealousy and have them make your life difficult.

All the job posts the Big 4 is putting up is probably fake too. A few of us sent our applications to test waters and not a single one got an interview.

Lol i wrote a fake satki resume and submitted to all the big 4 and mid tier firms and only the mid tier ones responded. Guess mid tier is doing better financially than the big 4 now

those who successfully exited this year, where did you go?

Internal audit. Yes I lost my mind but that's what being in Big 4 audit does to you. Gonna jump again to another job once the job market gets better.
