Why so many backlogs in so many audit firm?

Why so many job openings?

Honestly the work life balance is improving and I expect it to get even better in 3 to 5 years.

When I joined in 2010, the senior managers were all old birds belonging to an era where work is life and they had certain practices which would surely get them cancelled in this day and age.

That generation of senior managers has mostly all left, replaced by my batch / juniors of Millennials which are more results oriented and will not force you to OT for the sake of OTing even when you have nothing to do.

In another 3 to 5 years, once the Gen Z 2000 kids become seniors and managers, the culture should likely get even better.

Since the IGP/A’s/IB score to enter into the accountancy programme for the three local unis have fallen, does anyone know where our brightest are going? Outside of law / med / (I guess computing) and overseas scholarships

just dont have too high expectation... this is 2024, not 2010

jump straight from senior/AM to big names like Apple, Google, J&J, Bytedance are extremely difficult unless u got somebody who can bypass the HRs and submit your resumes directly to the hiring manager.

each role in this big names has abt 100+ applicants, a lot of them are big 4 auditors/advisory/other service lines, so how are u differentiating yourself with others when u all trained by the same cookie cutter, lol

perhaps if u want to jump, my realistic advice is start off with some mid-tier firms in the industry u want to go and then stay for 2-3 years. then aim for the big names
