Civil servants must be kidding themselves if they think every role in there is high flying and integral to nation building or whatever they get high on.
It's funny how they chose to pick on the offhanded 6pm pangkang remark when really the main point was that a good number of civil service jobs are meaningless roles which can be fulfilled by anyone able to fill up the job application form...which sounds rather similar to big 4 auditors lewl.

Also from what I heard, audit is the worse with work life balance so I知 not choose that. Thanks

Wah lan eh, ask this ask that, you want us to intro you to jobs too?
How about you consider if these companies you are looking at will actually consider giving you internship opportunities first?

This is good. There are many negatives about Big4. But I think what you can take from the job depends on you. Some people work like robots, roll prior year workpapers and don't understand what they are doing. Some people learn more because they don't work like robots.
There are several things that I picked up that might be helpful in work outside audit. I have to say it has been helpful to me and I didn't actually stay very long.
1. A good familiarity of financial numbers (3+1 statements and notes to account), and understanding of accounting treatment and standards.
2. Ability to understand new things/process/risk areas and process information. Walkthrough is not about rolling prior year workpaper and finding fault for fun. It is about understanding things that you don't understand. Audit trains your mind to think in a certain way and process information, and it is actually helpful for outside work.
3. Brushing up EQ. How to manage people of various positions and perspectives from you, and getting the things you want. I am not talking about our silly seniors-senior managers who don't even know what they are talking about sometime. I am talking about speaking with junior staff to SVP/managing directors or even CFO at the clients.
4. Ability to prioritize, streamline and multi task. I can visualize my own OSM list, manage multiple deadlines, and know what is good enough work if there is not enough time.

my advice is, to really go and find out yourself instead of listening to others stories' recommendations for u. Chances are u will regret it cos not everyone feels the same way for the same job
this is a site with lots of jokers, plus, if u cant even bother to fork out time to know more abt the industry u want to work in for 20-30 years, why would they?
