So rather than say I born too late, I blame myself. Born on time but I stupid lol.

If you're a guy, I believe you can still pivot from the accounting track. I've seen many guys who did well in polytechnic accounting and later transitioned to studying computer science or IT at NTU or SMU.

It depends if this is a change for good or bad.

bro don't give me ptsd pls. im still trauma from my associates who last minute "finish" work, then dont respond to review points or queries, then u have to find time to do their sections because they didn't even start some of them

You need to adjust to it. it's common nowadays. You have to tank until you leave the firm. If you're lucky, you have competent associates. Pray that they're on your team, so you don’t have to tank as much

This advice is legit. In my current commercial firm, most nice and capable
Colleagues don’t have big 4 or mid tier audit in their resumes . The auditors are easy to tell cos they are micromanaging their team members, toxic personality , and often has no clue about how the business works and understand why u don’t have to always be so Nicky picky on everything

Think you’re in the wrong thread?

People here more familiar with CA rather than CFA.

ISCA is so desperate for CA members now until the SCAQ is so flexible and can give exemptions intro Accelerated Pathway from 2020, 2023, 2024

Before 2020, the CPA exam is 5 papers and work 3 years full time under ATO, right? Regardless you Top Student in NTU or First Class Honours.

From 2014 to 2023 NTU graduate cry father cry mother said what "last time in NTU already done before tax and financial reporting, why repeat again? "

This kind of argument also acceptable by ISCA??

Unless you tell me the SCAQ paper is exactly the same as NTU exam paper?

But what about USA CPA Exam, Hong Kong CPA exam, I understand they also need to do CPA exam after graduate, they also never use the reason like "last time in uni already done before tax and financial reporting, why repeat again? "

Then like that our lawyers taking bar exam also can kpkb say "Oh these bar exam paper last time in NUS also done before already...aiyo why repeat in bar exam again"?

Tio boh?
