eat at desk? most people think you are siaolang if you do that in commercial .most people in commercial take 1 to 2 hours lunch break and maybe 15-20 mins toilet and tea break in the afternoon.

I realized that those who stay too long in big 4 are fake pretentious narcissists

some clients literally have bonuses based on number of audit adjustments--> wait until you kena those cb client who use cash basis instead of accrual basis and you can have like 40 AJEs or those lao auntie accounts clerk who don't even know why the numbers cannot tie.

Only siaolang will stay that long in audit and looking at my friends and families who did, I can confirm this stereotype is real. That's why I laugh when I hear clueless young ginnas say oh gen z and younger partners will bring changes. Just look around you lah, no short of people who suddenly change to love high resale prices after getting their bto keys.

some cash-basis clients even ask us to provide extensive explanation complete with screenshots like it's some academic dissertation even though they pull this nonsense every year. I seriously cannot believe the quality of accounting in SG and how pathetic big 4 here is to accept clients like that.

Oh and not to forget clients who use paper to record their GL. 2 big 4 clients. Haha. I quit the moment I got my senior title. Thank god last time job market for auditors was good during the border closure, I feel sorry for those who are seniors in 2023 and 2024 especially with the hiring freeze. You guys still can't extract tables from multi-page PDFs automatically because company too cheap to pay for latest version of software... and will continue to get pwned by fellow sinkies during election this year.

Yeah times are different now.
I'm AM and had to do fieldwork myself.
No associate, no senior available or just book a few hours only. Ended up I do everything including vouching, thank god there wasn't a lot.
God knows what is going on in audit at the moment.
Those partners also don't seem to know why managers are resigning, just say they want other opportunities or they are weak.

Seniors need to do more to protect us

With great power comes greater responsibility

AM means you will be manager soon.

What kind of manager will you be?

You can complain about them, but so far the AMs I met who became managers all became the thing they sworn to change.

AM is the worse.

Managers think of you as staff
But staff think of you as managers

Both sides don’t see you as the same side

You are dangled the carrot of promotion

But many who makes it, become the thing they hated.

Some people leave because they don’t want to become a manager who drives people to work very hard
