Some folks? I do not believe in his or yours. It is possible to change industry and job role, but impossible to allow potential employers to believe in his CV and arrange him for interview easily.

Simply start a thread, and answer the thread himself. Simply abuse the job forum that real job seekers taking advices.

A little off the topic but would like to ask how difficult it is to change industry/career path (eg from civil service to finance). Is there an age where I will be too old to do so? I'm 27 now

Question Accenture Management Consulting Analyst vs. PWC X audit w SQP vs RBS operations

As the title suggested, I have received offers from these parties for my first job.
I am a fresh engineering graduate and have no idea where to embark in my career in the field of professional service. I am looking out more on the career development, learning opportunities and exit opportunities than salary aspect.

Thank you so much for any constructive advice.

Go for Accenture management consulting. Among the 3 jobs, it's has the best starting pay, best pay progression and the job scope is interesting. You will get to work with different clients throughout your career, which keeps your job interesting.

Stay away from Bank Operations if you have better options.

Default Accenture Management Consulting Analyst vs. PWC X audit w SQP vs RBS operations

Hi, Thanks alot for your reply. I guess operations jobs aren't that popular afterall.

May I please ask about PWC External Audit (requires the fresh entry to take SQP in the next years) as compared to Accenture MC whether which ones have better exit opportunities and learning opportunities.

Moreover if I choose to enter Audit, is it tougher to enter Accenture consulting in future. I am kind drawn to the opportunity take up the professional qualification as I am holding only an engineering degree?

Hi, thanks for your reply.

Unfortunately, I dont see myself going on the partner track in PwC in future, perhaps untill the Assistant Manager/ Manager level as I heard from my NBS friends that external audit is really difficult to stay on for long and SQP is also a killer. Therefore, I am looking on the exit opportunites for the following offers. Does Accenture MC brings about good exit opportunities as well?

Cheers,

Default can the employer increase the notice period?

I just found a better job and hence resigned from my current company. My notice period is 30 days but not the boss asking me stay on for another month. He says that he will otherwise ask the HR not to issue me a service certificate.
I want to move on as soon as possible.
What to do?
