As a Manager, I hate working with jhk because they can't lead multiple projects without screwing them up.

Hence, I only allow chio jhb into my projects.

another example of student roleplaying lmao

anyone who has staffed engagements before know what i mean

better leave big 4 before you reach 30 until you want to get the ugly virus from the BBFAs and Dinobus

This is true. Last sentence is probably a troll.

But for some people, they don't have such networks (e.g. myself last time, I was the first in my family to get a degree, but it's a place without many alumni at high places, and have been given bad advice for so many years...). There isn't any SG pay gap or mentorship groups to my knowledge either.

Curious too. There are lots of mentorship programs overseas but in SG there's only for the top 3 uni current students.

No other way than sacrificing sleep. Anyone who tells you they did it through "better time management" or "enhance understanding" is smoking you, no way anyone can do that with 2-3 separate engagements under their belt at the same time. It's not like we can automate things either thanks to the janky audit softwares.

Why do auditors need to lead multiple projects at the same time? Don't you guys work on billable hour basis?

"billable hours" is for internal tracking of "profitability" only. we bill clients based on a fixed feel-good figure, u work 100 hours or 200 hours also no difference in billed figure. not like lawyers work longer hours then ur invoice bigger.

normally they let junior associate charge more to show that they are generating revenue for the firm. But you know la the fee is alr fixed. They just do it to grow the firm headcount
