Cost of living is high. My colleague month exp is more than 10k. 2 kids at childcare plus housing plus mthly exp. Not ez...jia you. Im sure if u single still ok haha.

The smaller jobs, SMEs, no special items on balance sheet or unusual transactions, team composition tends to be more juniors and quality may not be on same level as the listed clients.

Listed jobs probably A+ cause any mishap the audit partner licence is at stake, whereas lower risk they only aim to pass file inspection and not trying to impress anyone.

No lo, u got read acra public report anot. Nobody dare day audit quality is A+ only u.

How can someone not aware of secondment and outsourcing in big international firm. U new to b4?

Hi, Im an S2 in EY Malaysia, and I have applied to SG Big 4 as well as mid tier like BDO, RSM, Crowe, but no replies so far. Can I know when is the recruitment for Big 4 SG usually?

Im just trying to go to SG cause my boyfriend lives there and he keeps asking me to move there for our future

We outsource grunt work to grunts who can’t even do grunt work

Hi Malaysian here too.

Why not ask for internal transfer from EY Malaysia to EY Singapore? I'm sure EY Singapore need manpower now.

Hi everyone, I just got scolded "don't take your own sweet time" to finish the work.

Any comments?

Are you from EY SG? Are they hiring rn? Im planning to ask my counselor this during my next 1to1 cause i got good feedback for my FY23 Dec audit.

Im just a bit worried cause my position is S2 and im not super confident about my ability to take on a Supervisor role... Im worried my counselor will think Im not the best fit or like only the best ppl shud be transferred/smthg like that.

I wish I had made the move to SG earlier... But its only recently that my boyfriend keep asking me to move there.
