mcstan_18: Without any form of reservation(of words), the KPMG recruitment process is fair and well organised except of course the fact that it could drag for sometime, close to or more than a calendar year atimes. If you guys have been told by the lady in question that recruitment for MC would commence next year, then I'd rather you take her for her word. That's usually the case when it comes to recruitment into Management Consulting(MC), infact some of you guys may be advised to switch to audit if need be(that's from past experiences). You've got to pray and work hard brother, KPMG isn't easy to get into albeit you can be sure that it would be 100% merit-based.

A piece of advise for you: If by any chance you're advised by the HR to switch to audit or tax, grab the opportunity with both hands and legs. MC recruits only a few(comparatively) each year which reduces applicants' chances of making it through. Be upbeat brother- you'ld certainly get called, be it on the postive note or otherwise.

I hope I've been able to clear your fears in no small measure? If you've got any more doubts anyway, feel free to ask and I'll try my best to give answers to the best of my knowledge(this reply could take some time anyway as we've been very busy lately). Bless your soul brother. Wish you the very best

Westlord: U might be right to an extent '***% merit based' so how can you explain a science degree product scaling thru to d final (Partner) then being told d@ not been 4rm an accounting background was d reason 4 my disqulification after asking & being assured d@ it wont be an hindrance @ every stages of d interview. The 100% is for the procedure & organisation bt it is 50% of d general process. I still like KPMG even when dey fell short of my expectatn; bt (KPMG NG) they ar Dream creators/terminators; life is al abt start & stop so I dont blame dem.
2 all still tryng KPMG NG, its worth it if U can bear it, good luc
