the reality is this: people keep going to big 4 -> resulting in annual GES becoming like ****, easily bottom 20% local uni's GES -> JC students see the GES, who the heck will even wan to to join accountancy -> quality of acc undergraduates getting lower and ACC becoming a dumping ground course

This is already happening on the ground, with accountancy courses in NTU being so lowly ranked that even 70 pointers can go in.

For poly of course diff story cos they follow through from uni and many of them were brainwashed in poly to join big 4 anyway.

But nobody in the right mind from JC would wanna join accountancy anymore and the prestive of the profession is going to the dumps.

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
Errr I know someone from my sch who wasn't able to join big 4 after graduation! His results were quite stellar, first class if I'm not mistaken. At the bare minimum a 2:1

Accountancy with near first-class honours will definitely be able to get into Big4 audit. Seriously, just do one of your internship in Big4 assurance and you will get the offer.

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.

He's my friend so he told me he didn't get any offers. Kind of stupid of you to even assume that 🙃
