i have no doubt that there r some very smart ppl in audit but like all fields with such low barriers to entry the variance is very wide

these high iq ppl will leave for other more challenging fields cos their intelligence is wasted on doing audit at the junior level

of cos there are others who r very good relationally & good client skills. these guys will eventually make partners if they can progress thru the initial grind

by and large, the average competition is from TAR and private degree holders. no high flier goes to audit.

don't believe me? ask yourself honestly. how many people who studied overseas in good unis like LSE, Oxbrige, UCL, Ivy league have u heard, joining big 4 as A1? Lmao

It was many years ago. Even at that time, the interviewers are trying to promote Big4 than doing an actual interview. Not that I am complaining, since I hate interviews.

Does he have very bad EQ and presentation skills, with zero internship experience? It takes immense effort to not be able to join Big 4 assurance if you are second upper and above.

Use your brain lah. FCH got so many options. Maybe that guy attended big 4 interview for fun to waste the interviewer's time or anyhow fill up the online application form.
