If you cmi at a1, how are you to convince ppl that you can be a2/ associate yr2?

So it is not auto

genZ these day think and complain too much, but want good pay

Was auto when I was still in audit just a few years back. They changed it now? Interesting.

Good afternoon my fellow auditors comrade, I have decided to take the leap of faith and quit without a job lining up. Ngl, it sounds that I’m crazy but I rather take a short career break than getting my health, mentally and physically, destroyed by a job. Wish me luck!

In the same spot, just submitted my resignation. All the best to everyone

Per my seniors it was auto too but we are not from KPMG, maybe it is different there

Dont go BDO.
culture of scolding, shouting, humiliation
managers will scold you infront of your juniors
bond locks u in so they know u cant leave and just scold you
these very managers have become partners now

they wont let u leave on last day after serving notice as well

I’m surprised in this day and age, still got people think Roundtable is a myth.

Well, you’ll find out when you make manager.

This is like primary school kids thinking O levels isn’t real.

How difficult is it to find an exit for auditors these days? Seems like nearly all the resgnees I heard left without a job

Staff don’t participate so they don’t know what’s happening behind the scenes.

Manager here, can confirm every grade is discussed and assessed at performance review.

We really do book meeting room and spend 4 hours discussing each of you.

It is reflected in payslip? Didn’t know about this!
