Hi when did you apply and how long did it take to hear back?

Just admit u are a loser and do as wad ur master say.
Either u live as a dog or king u decide.
Its 2023 and still doing audit and complaining. Man up kid.

Will we see a wave of SMs and M departing from yellow when they finally split up at EOY? This will be the end of Big 4, mark my words. It will be Big 3 and a very diminished yellow that's mid tier at best.

And the best thing is, everyone here is mostly clueless abt it

If desperate for jobs then can join big 4 audit. I rather be in an advisory role so my clients can remediate their issues on the spot rather than being seen as a troublemaker when I have to raise issues as an auditor.

Furthermore, I'm being paid more and also have my dignity respected

Saw in the news today that there are layoffs in KPMG advisory business. Is Singapore office affected?

u preaching to the choir bro. most ppl here know B4 audit doesn't hv the prestige it once had. now all staffed with foreigners and malaysians with private uni degree

last time 15 years ago maybe still can trick 1 or 2 FCH frm NBS to join. Now nobody so stupid liao

20 years ago even better. go business sch then Big 4 was like super prestigious parents can haolian to relatives during CNY. That was the era of civil engineers or mech engin also.

Now all avoid audit like the plague unless u want to be 2nd class citizen to jhk

How about consulting/advisory within big 4?

Hi, can I check if there will be upcoming pay revisions at EY this year? Thanks

Hi guys audit senior manager from one of the big 4 and here sharing you my impressive career progression over the years

yr 0-1: Audit Associate
yr 2: Audit Senior
yr 4: Audit Assistant Manager
yr 5: Audit Manager
yr 8: Audit Senior Manager

It took me 8 years to achieve where I am today, additional few more years to become audit partner. Outside of big 4, you will not be able to achieve such a linear career progression and easily get stuck/outsourced or possibly retrenched. Look at all the global banks and tech firms they have been cutting headcount and all but big 4 audit is iron rice bowl. Suggest fresh grad to stick it out the grind and stay at least 8 yrs to get ahead of your peers
