if they work mostly from the office, why do they still close late? deadlines? can't one leave when it's closing time?

Closing time is not closing time

KPMG and PwC wouldn't recruit a 2.2 graduate though, regardless of being chartered and having the experience. Dunno if the policy has changed but that's my current understanding.

You can however tey out Deloitte or EY. I'm not sure about their process of recruiting experienced hires though. I'll ask a friend in Deloitte and get back on that.

Good day everyone.

I am considering a career in audit or advisory and making the decision is really exhausting. I need more information to complete my decision process and that is what I am hoping you guys can help me with.

Is it possible for me to switch from Audit to Advisory within a firm? If it is, please, how easy is it?

Thanks.

I never worked in any of them, but I'm somehow close to them. I have friends in all of them and I also have professional relationship with them as I have had to work with all of them as consultants to different companies I have worked for.

They are all a good place to work for. One of the best places anyone can work. The pay not so juicy but you have solid training and you have brand that can earn you opportunities in the future.

Yes, they have crazy deadlines, sometimes work on weekends. On a lighter note, they also brush you up and refine you from your ayam English to a (locally acquired) fonee speaking fellow that speaks from the nose. grin


ICAN/ACCA is not compulsory if you don't plan to go into auditing and tax. Advisory people hardly need all these.

Hello, Jarus! I was just running through the old threads and found your comment yet again. Your contributions to these threads are enormous and would never be forgotten.

I presently work as a trainee in the O&G sector with a company that pays quite poorly compared to the industry standard and conducts no formal training. Owing to your vast experience working with the best of them all, I wish to seek your opinion on how I can put myself in the right path to cling one of the creme de la creme of the industry. I'm willing to put in the effort, time and focus but I completely lack direction and guidance. Hope to hear from you, sir.
