These are usually experienced hires. I’ve not met anyone who went into monitor as a fresh hire.

They seem to hire a lot of experienced folks (5-10 years) of experience where 10k is not exactly that attractive anymore

Dumping grpund for non local?

Isn't that bad?

Squeeze the associates, seniors and managers to feed the jiakliaobee partners. They won many new clients but have insufficient manpower to handle the clients

like what the Chinese saying says: don't have big head then don't wear big hat

I think commercial more interested in the dept/sector you worked in. Banks or financial institutions will prefer those who audited banks before.

so they came up with "blue sky friday" and shifting of office to asia square. and they think it is going to solve the manpower issue...

The fundamental problem with big 4 manpower crunch: information transparency

Now us younger generation has all the means to understand the job market, how each company is paying , how is the company culture, workload , future outlook etc without having to physically be in it to test it out

With so many good MNC (esp tech firms ) paying almost twice the starting pay of big 4, with equally good career prospect and learning opportunities, whoever that drink the cool aid of big 4 being the best training ground and career starter … gd luck, not saying it’s not true anymore. But there are many many diff places which u can achieve the same outcome , with more WLB and $$$ instead of sitting in front of the desk for 16 hours with peanut pay and getting called lazy and not appreciative enuf the moment u talk abt being too overworked

Unless your want to make director or partner . DONT JOIN

Recently more US small and mid tier firms merge , that’s because this industry has been squeeezed until the money is only concentrated at the top earners. Being the small fry u just gonna be miserable for many years with no guarantee that u would get the light at the end of the tunnel

Based on what I oversee, not that the company are not trying hard enuf to join

Is Becos the big 4 reputation is so SH*T that any fresh grad with good grades and a better common sense would choose to join a big MNC finance team with equally good opportunity ( lol most mgr jump out of big 4 cos cannot tahan) and much higher pay

idk you oversee on what basis but the company is definitely not trying hard. having blue sky friday and you say alreaddy trying hard? they can easily increase pay

they wont lah.

If increase pay, the margin of the audit projects gonna be even lower.

just hire more from malaysia
