I am never an employee, always employer. Hustling sure pass as correct Igbo guy. U can never make it big as an employee. Being an employee makes you lazy. You always believe u gonna earn pea nut at the end of every month. And that impression will not allow you to hustle further. 5 Likes |

I love the experience, the travel, the fact that you get to meet so many people/clients in a short period of time. The fact that you get to learn so much. You get to build your professional network. You're trained from the get go, etc, etc. But then after a while many people become bored, or they start getting juicier offers from the multinationals et al hence why the Big 4s are always recruiting. Oh, and you get to work with the best brains out there. If you think say na you smart pass, e go shock you when you see some kain people. 23 Likes |

lolaredvelvet: If you "just want to", there is no problem in it. Like I earlier said, it is not compulsory except you're going into the aforementioned fields. There is no harm in doing it just for the sake of doing it. It broadens your horizon, and makes you versatile, and it can make a difference in future job search. Personally, I never set out to be an accountant, I started ICAN just to keep myself busy during my service year...but that was what got me job after NYSC, and I ended up being an accountant all my post-NYSC career. That was accidental. So you never can tell. 3 Likes |

veave:If he is less than 26, has a 2-1, then 5 credits in WAEC including English and Mathematics. . Then he can apply for their graduate trainee.. Kpmg recruitment runs throughout the yr, so he can apply. .. Asides these, na experienced positions remain.... 2 Likes |
Re: Working With The Big4, Your Experience. by Jarus(m): 9:52am On Jun 29, 2015 |
veave: All a big 4 needs are 2.1 in first degree in almost any course, below a certain age, usually 26. That's all you need. Then your ability will take you further in acing the tests and interviews. There is no course your brother needs other than the above. I have coached a number of people for interviews of Big 4 and they got the jobs: http://www.jarushub.com/interview-coaching/ But you need to do your own part first by getting their invite and passing their tests. 1 Like |

Jarus: Similarly to you, I also began doing ACCA just to keep myself busy after my boss retired.. I was a fresh graduate working as an administrative PA .. when the job came to an end I didn't know what to do next and didn't wanna just go do masters for the sake of it.. .. after much prayers and thinking I felt I should go the professional route hence why I enrolled for ACCA. It's all new to me though.. my degree wasn't based in finance.. I did management and marketing. Hoping ACCA would open new doors for me like ICAN did for you. 4 Likes 1 Share |

lolaredvelvet: I studied Economics in school. I hated accounting like sh*t from secondary school through university. I never for the life of me thought it was accounting job that will put food on my table. I don't like being idle, and rather than waste my 1 year in a village in the North during my NYSC year, I decided to register for ICAN and keep myself busy. I won prizes in the first stage I wrote and put it on my CV. Fiam, it didn't take 2 weeks after NYSC before I got an accounting job, because of that. And all my 7 years post-NYSC career since then has been accounting job. 1 Like |
