Imagine being proud of working long hours when you're earning less than half the pay of people in other industries like banking, consulting, tech for the same years of experience.

But sure, yes you're so strong. So zai. So hardworking. Lol.

Honestly, sg people culture in audit not bad, nobody wants to OT. Its all the ceca idiots come here work like dog (because they are dogs) OT until 3am then drag everyone along with them.... as if OTing until 3am is something to be proud of

Tell me about it. My sm beh song whole team left client place before 10pm. She talks about back in her days no one will leave before 1am, now 成何体统. Pls lar, what dinosaur era she is living. Instead of talking about productivity and output, she focus more on OT hours… no wonder dinobu bo lang ai

Hi everyone, if you guys feel jaded about peak let me share with you my journey

2009: Joined Big 4 as an Audit Associate
2011: Promoted to Audit Senior
2013: Promoted to Audit Assistant Mgr and seconded to NYC
2018: Promoted to Audit Senior Mgr
2021: Promoted to Audit Partner

I understand that peak is tough for you guys, but every dark clouds have a silver lining and look at the bright side. Big 4 is the only place that could provide you with lateral career trajectory, which translates to faster promotion and higher increments annually. During these 12 years of my career, there were many headhunters poaching me with lucrative offers. However, I rejected all these offers as my approach to career has always been a “long term investor” rather than a “short term trader”. Big 4 is equivalent to US stock market where there are many ups and downs throughout. However, if you are able to weather through all this hardships you will see lucrative gains and huge positive impact to your career as well as your life.

You answered your own question indirectly: “back in my day”

Times have changed.

I used to work through public holidays and weekends without complain, but try asking Gen Z to do this now and I assure you they won’t be pleased.
