kachikapor: Helpful information... The only offputting thing about working for one of the big4 is the low wages compared to the amount of work and hours required of you. My question is, in addition to ICAN/ACCA qualification, would it boost one's earning power to obtain a MSc in Accounting too? 2 Likes |

Jarus: Can people ever enter them without having to falsify age if the person is over-aged already? |
Re: Working With The Big4, Your Experience. by Jarus(m): 7:29pm On Jun 30, 2015 |
mickey45: Experienced hire route. But I must confess that one is hard too. Most of their experienced hires are from other big 4 firms (which means everywhere you go, you still meet the age restriction barrier at start) but I have seen people move to them from financial institutions. Bad news again is most financial institutions also put age restriction at entry level. While it is not impossible, it appears hard. But nit working in a big 4 is not the end of life. I never did. I'm still an accountant. 5 Likes |

Jarus: Can you imagine? What shall it profit a man to blow all the fonee and Queen's English in the world yet go home to eat Indomie and bread? What do they even do in such organisations sef, besides prepare financial statements for entities and advise people on how to shave taxes? No offence. I'm curious. 6 Likes |

been working there for donkey years now and planning my exit. most of my colleagues have left for other jobs or on masters and never come back. would advise that if you don't have specific passion to work there, DO NOT try it. its not worth it in the long run. people resign all the time even some without any other job to fall back on. just my opinion. on the other hand, having experienced life at other big four offices around the world, there is a clear Nigerian mentality about the way things are done here. others outside have better quality life and work plan. 10 Likes 1 Share |

masonkz: I think the major reason is what my friend always says, "You are busy marking prepared when your mates are earning millions". Anyway, what I love about working for Big 4 is how fast you learn on the job. I Learnt more about accounting in my 6 first months than the 4 years I spent in school studying it. Also love how you get to interact with top managerial clients. CFOs, Financial controllers or managers (for those of us in Assurance). Does good for your network (even have 2 that chat with me from time to time). What I hate is to get wrong schedules that dont tie to Tb, Gl that dont tie ro Tb (unbelievable but true), extremely RUDE lower level staff who think you are there to catch them stealing 4 Likes 1 Share |

debada Thanks for sharing. Pls,does tax work directly from the office or they go around like Assurance too? |
Re: Working With The Big4, Your Experience. by debada(f): 11:03am On Jul 26, 2015 |
ProjectAnalyst: According to my colleague there, most jobs are done from the office. However, you might be required to meet the client to discuss some things. |
