Seen quite a number of accounting/finance grads not working in big 4 but IB in banks

13 years ago, our local Big4 say they will never hire private uni grad, acca, or Malaysian private uni or gov uni graduates to touch the audit of listed companies.

Now times have changed.

Local big4 can no longer be as arrogant as 13 years ago due to the low birth rate in the past 20 years, low salary growth as compare to other industries, less people taking up the accounting uni courses, accounting is no longer seen as prestigious.
