Audit usually under professional services

Audit in b4 website is financial service...

That's what they market to ppl lah. To trick kumgongs who can't get a real banking or finance job into thinking working in audit means being part of the coveted financial sector.

Tell me who sets Employment Pass policy? B4 or MOM?

Hi, what’s the chance of jumping from mid tier to big4 now? Currently an A2 in mid tier.

Ya I agree . Due to long hours of stress + lack of sleep and exercise most big four guys would look like that but maybe without the Porsche :)

I don’t know I heng or what but I didn’t work a single weekend during my 2+ years in big 4. Nobody forced me to OT in office. Senior asked me to work during weekends but I just wayang and made some minor edits on Sunday night and senior and manager were pleased with my performance. I worked on Sunday nights for 2 hours while I was a senior but quit already. Why you all so suay ah need to OT so much? I got time to exercise and have minimum 6 hours of sleep

confirm not from yellow

Which colour? Dun be shy

Maybe op is secretly yellow’s partner son lol

Sme dept.?

What is a good firm for international tax

When is the best time to quit? Feels like wont survive pass this peak.

It is never too early. Just throw.

Hows the job market these days. Scared cannot find job

You got at least 3 YoE in audit not? Move to corporate lor many opportunities

Busy season making my anxiety worst. Manager and senior pings me in the middle of the night, burn my weekends, scared cannot meet deadlines….

Any tips on how to cope with this stress?

Just ignore them and pangkang at 6

Junior whr got stress. Cannot finish then say cannot finish lo. Ultimate responsibility is on them.

Senior manager will threaten you and fear monger if you quit. All sorts of nonsense like go outside cannot find job, go outside kena bullied, everywhere is the same and need to OT like mad all come out.

This happens when u got useless guidance. Time to go dont waste time. Its a cycle. Mid tier go b4 b4 go mid tiers

When I quit one of my mgr keep telling me the standard bad things abt commercial: slow progression, equally stressed, no salary increment and the list goes one

But she basically stays in big 4 ever since she came out of uni… so whatever she echoing is just because she heard it from someone else and maynot be true all the time

Besides she personally drinks the big 4 koolaid why u expect her to tell us to quit ?

(Also the same mgr take maternity for **** long period of time, one thing I agree is if she’s in commercial she probably won’t get promoted if she is away for so long. Only those that benefits from the b4 experience would say it’s a good place

To add on. This same female SM has the audacity to ask us why so many Mgr quit in my team while she’s away on leave. Cos she finds the revised compensation good and workload is not that heavy. Really be too ignorant or just playing d*mb well know that her mgr batch mate has to carry all the workload for her while she’s taking care of her personal matters

What nonsense. If commercial that bad can always jump back to audit. LOL. She is living in denial.

Look at this year nus ges accountancy vs rest

Difference is huge

but but but...steady progression....chance to make partner...Mgr pay good...outside progression slow....and other B4 kool aid talking points

I have the same issue as you.

My associate years quite good life because my senior handle everything, but now I’m the senior and I can’t cope.

The anxiety is overwhelming for me.

Now I am the senior and although still have manager, he has made it clear the ultimate responsibility is on me and I will be held accountable for the associates too.

I’m not even a senior. I’m just an A2 but treated as a “senior” cus majority of the seniors left alr. With barely more than a year of experience in audit, I have to be responsible for all the sections assigned to me, guide my juniors and clean up the mess my juniors made. Man, I’m clueless every single day and just trying to fake it till I make it.

What she said on slow progression and low increment is true. Everyone knows it. But it doesn’t justify why we should be squeezed hard by big4 instead. We can just keep job hopping for the increments.

You let her be ba. She just came back from maternity, that would means there is a baby at home asking for her attention 24/7. She won’t last long too.

The jump from A2 to S1 is just ridiculously steep.

One moment you only have to follow instructions and got people guide you step by step,

Next moment you expected to know everything and be the one giving instructions to your associates when you yourself might not even be 100% sure.

Ranking for non big4 audit and tax

Almost 5 years of experience, still feeling the same way.

It's like imposter syndrome? People say I'm good at doing what I'm doing but deep inside I'm actually clueless.

A large part of this is because 50% of what I'm doing is either self-taught or things I figured out by myself along the way without knowing for sure if this is the way it is meant to be.
