There’s no such thing now.. everyone join the firm as even A1 (or A2 if returning intern hnder accelerated program)

Please keep up with the times, even SAF also no more leadership batch, every intake got chance to go command school now.

ok I need to correct myself partially - if you join B4 as poly diploma holder, you are on a different track from the degree holders, but at least 1 of the B4 firms give you the chance to cross-over to be on the same track, subject to some stringent criteria (not sure if they need to take degree or professional papers but there at least there is a path for them too)

I prefer to stop the spread of misinformation.

It's possible I am the only real local Singaporean working in a B4 in this thread.

This forum hardly have real big4 ppl. Only have jhk stalking on salary, mid tier trash, but mostly is jhk trying to find their way in. They trying to take over our big 4.
I dont think theres many students wanting to go big 4, just see your sept intake. Not as many ntu. Private uni maybe. Ex interns maybe

I don't think many here are actual big 4 staff either, looks more like private uni student with mental problems shitposting.

It's getting harder and harder to be a partner these days anyway. You gotta be a director for at least 7 years before you're allowed to buy-in. And big 4 revenue targets is pretty high lately.

Audit is in a sad state and nobody should join it. I'm the last few of my batch and I would have already left if not for the horrible job market this year. Contemplating resigning without a job in hand.

i can believe there's actual big 4 staff. you know our new batch this year is made up of private uni grads right? suddenly this year townhall mailbox flooded with jhk this jhk that messages when we never had such things in previous years. looks like the lurkers here got a job

We singaporeans get our million dollar condos for free since you JHK is paying for them. your rental covers my mortgage and interest btw. After a few years I get a free condo or sell for capital gains, or just collect rental yield bro. easy retirement for me. And also I rent out my HDB and condo fully, can close to 10k a month and go travel the world.

CPF interest is the highest, not forgeting we get free 18% extra salary from employer. Where to get such a good deal?

Oh wait, malaysian government didnt look out for their citizens, poor thing. so many sour grapes here. betray their country to grow my lovely singapura, oh singapura~

jokes on you jhk

You forget the cap at 6300

2018 A1 batch still got many locals and got quite a number from NTU. The situation after covid so jialat ah. no locals want to join big 4 already.

Dk why yall LOCAL GRADS love to discriminate against private uni grads like y’all are the elites of the elites. The satki nus honors fresh grad still have to listen orders from me a 2 yr pte uni senior in the end. Haolian so much for what. If so good, why come b4 ya?
