Which big 4 pay this huge?

IcedMusk1995:

Inaccurate. I work in a big 4 firm. The current entry level salary is about 200k. In less than 1 year it would go up to 290-310 depending on performance metrics. In less than 2 years you could be earning well over 350k.. so what are you saying?

Nice one brother
Thank you for the hints

Deloitte Recruitment Process 2022

2. Credential Verification
3. Interview Invitation- Two Stages (Initial Interview and Partner Interview)
4. Medical and Covid Vaccination
5. Offer of Employment.

To those that didn't scale through the whole process, either you didn't prepare well, few mistakes in your answers and other reason best known to the company. This does not mean you are not good or you can't get into other great companies, but instead let this be a learning process for other recruitment process. Thank you all.

Have they sent out offer letter?

Abunus:
Deloitte are done with application to the graduate trainee this year. They will announce a later date for 2023 graduate trainee programme.

The old professor is actually right for debunking your research proposal. Even with a nuclear waste management proposal, how does it relate to the oil and gas sector. There is no radioactive activity in the oil and gas sector in Nigeria. Even if you want to use a radioactive stuff, who would fund it?
I am sorry to say but you didn't choose a great research topic for ptdf.
As old as the professor maybe, I totally agree with him.
A topic in petrophysics would have been better than a nuclear topic. Nuclear in oil & gas. Do you know how regulated nuclear activity in Nigeria?
I had a similar experience with an interviewer in 2019, he told me that a gas condensate is for undergraduate research. I had to add a modern technology stuff to it before he could believe me. I didn't get the scholarship.

The purpose of the interview is to know who is actually interested in studying in his/her respective field relating to oil and gas in Nigeria. Nuclear is irrelevant in Nigeria.

Don't blame the interviewer.

mrphysics:
I have to share my interview experience, it was bad, I mean very bad but wasn't my fault anyway.

So I went in to meet a 2-man panel. They were of course other panels having 3 persons but when it was my turn, it was the panel with 2 persons that were empty and had requested for an applicant. I was feeling lucky believing I had 2 persons to deal with without knowing it was a bad omen for me.

So they checked all my documents, everything was fine, I had everything with me, but not the panelist. So when it was time for me to present, all hell broke loose. I couldn't believe they were people in this generation and a professor in that matter that haven't heard of nuclear. The very moment I mentioned Nuclear (it doesn't matter how I want to apply the nuclear), he stopped me and said "Nuclear in this Nigeria??" The professor was a very old man with little or no knowledge of the current research. I mentioned the use of Monte Carlo Neutron Transport Codes, but he head of only Monte Carlo and chuckled, saying it was what they used 40-50 years ago Haba, Prof. Calm down and listen nah, but he wasn't having any of it.

I mentioned nuclear waste management, and cleaning of oil spillage, he interrupted me and questioned how can I be mentioning nuclear waste in energy management. He even questioned if nuclear has waste? Jesus, I couldn't believe what happened yesterday. It was very funny anyway.

So that was how it went yesterday. It was bad with Prof. But then you don't blame him, Prof. didn't believe Ajaokuta steel can work, he said I should forget about what the government was saying that its a scam and just a consultancy project. He was very proud, but I reminded him that the reason why Geregu powerplant was sited very close to Ajaokuta was to supply electricity to the plant. I told him everything he needs to be convinced but then, his mind was made up and I can't change that. Prof. didn't know that Nigeria currently produce 4000MWe of electricity, when I told him that he said it was not true, I told him to check the internet.

He said the only thing that the government should do is to produce energy from Gas, and that Gas is a clean source of energy. We went to Germany where he mentioned that they shut down all their reactors and I told him that they were importing 34% of their electricity demand from France, he said it wasn't true, I told him it was and that the internet is there for him to check. And now asked him what he thinks Germany will do now with the Ukraine Was and stoppage of the gas flow, he got the point anyway.

Well, it was bad with Prof. but the second guy was amazed though openly didn't want to disagree with Prof. manner, so when Prof. went to fetch his tea, we had a good discussion and he even told me to wait and greet Prof. before I leave.

In summary, it wasn't smooth but then, there is nothing to worry about. If I get it fine, if I didn't get it, next year, I will meet prof. again.

Lies. You saw the requirements when you applied.

Jephthalize:
Good evening all,

I heard Deloitte employ only first class Graduate for private university and doesn’t recognize state/ federal university… how true is that pls

Me too but mine was since 2019. I got a regret mail today. Take heart just keep on trying. Explore other career options.

Realex007:
This is the 5th time I'm writing this test since 2017. And I've only passed and gotten to interview stage once. God.

For audit, the case study was on real audit scenerio where a senior manager was handling audit engagement with a difficult client or something with tight deadline. I can't remember
There were up to 8 questions like who are the stakeholders, what would you advise if there is something happens. What if something come up how would you handle it.

You just need to analyze, read and understand the Deloitte core values and use that to tackle the questions.
Mind you, you only have like 45 minutes to answer by typing your response. Just list your points when you're answering.
Goodluck

Ayoyeezy007:


Hi Ennyj01 please do you have an idea of what the case study questions were like. Thank you

For GTBank interview as far as I know is one of the best modern interview I have ever had. This is a fair process

There are two stages of interview.

The first is the competency based interview with HR personnel. The interviewers will tell you to use a STAR method (situation, task Action and result) to answer with relevant real life sceneries from university days, day to day activities or previous work experience. Questions revolve around how you displayed team work, innovation, customer eccentric, tackle or solve problem. These are basically from the 8 orange rules of the company from GTBank core values.

After you succeed with the first, you'll be invited to the second stage interview with a senior management personnel, just prepare for a regular interview as well as competency based questions, try impress them with your background knowledge of the bank by researching the core values, mission and vision. They might ask about your plans in the next 3-5 years. Please note that you'll be a trainee, you're there to learn on the job. Hopefully that answers the question.

I hope my 2 cents is helpful.

Guys just listen to him.
He made a valid point.

Bricks92:


Really

Guys can we all relax. I know you're very anxious and it may not be easy but please try to remain calm.

Trust me, PwC has not forgotten you . It will come like a thief in the night

Just go about what you were doing before PwC came knocking.

Again relax, enjoy the next two months before grief comes .

Enjoy your time and stop bothering your head. Sleep all you can, watch those movies, visit those friends... Some of you're about to embark on a roller coaster ride. If you don't clear your mind now, when your ride starts you wouldn't know what hit you.

Enjoy

Alright

splendourebube:
@Fremaxx, start practising SHL PQs... God go do am for you.

I understand.
Good insight.
I wish I had passed the test stage

Eficator:


From the original calendar schedule, final day of interview for 2021 graduate program was supposed to be 23rd of July while resumption was slated for 4th of October. I strongly believe this schedule was done base on the fact that the date for the company to resume back to office was still not know.

At some point the firm was now reconsidering resuming back to office by September, final interview for the graduate program was now brought backward to 16th of July as against the initiall 23rd which left many persons to guess that they might also be reconsidering resumption for 2021 graduate to be September. Remember there will definitely be two batches if it is a physical resumption as against one for a virtual.
So my guess is since the firm is planning to abort the plan of resuming physically by September, hence the October resumption for the graduate program will still be fine as everyone can resume at once virtually.
I hope you understand my point.

I don't think working remotely will affect resumption. Fresh associates were hired last year during the work from home. Training can be done virtually. However, working remotely might affect HR personnel to shift their on-boarding schedule. At this point, I think everyone should be patient.

Eficator:
So I think the possibility of we resuming September in the office is now very slim as I heard the firm is considering aborting their plans of resuming back to office by September due to the new wave of Corona coming.

So I believe they are taking their time since October is still far.

Do you get promotion even though it's a menial and how often do you travel around the world with this pay?

Dividus2savelif:
I do menial job abroad and I earn N1.3m monthly, excluding routine expenses and family upkeep fees. My gross is a like N2.5m monthly

Valid analysis

Advision:
Depends on your employer, years of experience and if you are working in your industry as a line or outside your industry as a support staff.

An accountant in a small indigenous oil & gas firm can earn 1.2M net per annum as a trainee.

Same accountant in a multinational upstream firm can do 18M per annum.

An accountant in a multinational audit firm with 15-20 years experience can do 200M per annum (partner level). Same accountant will probably do less than 10% of that if he were to work in a company as a support staff.

While an IT expert that is a support staff in a multinational audit even with 20 years experience may not do up to 20M.

Thank you

r4blessing:
Yes the diploma counts as two or more certificate, you don't have to be chartered. Just the first three papers would be evaluated positively

Does anyone know about this?

Fremaxx:
A quick one, do ACCA foundation diploma courses count as two or more certificates with BSC degree? Or one has to be chartered ACCA before it counts? Especially for WES evaluation.

Maybe it's in batches
We can never tell

Cool

Mandorland:

What a lovely spirit
Never give up

Jennex:
Just received a love letter. Will try again next year

It's too early to make a conclusion

Mandorland:
For those who haven't received success mail, remove your mind because there's no way they'll send a success mail on Monday when opq starts same Monday. I've left the thread...congrats to everyone that received a success mail and congrats to myself for getting this far. Shalom!

I want to believe it's in batches
I know a friend who did not attend the business chat but got the offer.
A lot of people who were called for the medical, have not received the offer yet.
Don't conclude yet, remember that the medical screening was also in batches

ennyj01:


This I can't say
But I know three Audit guys that got offer letter.

Unless deloitte runs batch to batch offer letter.

What a smart way to have a study partner

justbehappy:
Who needs a study partner for the next one week. We would study together preferably at night, tackling the numerical and verbal questions!! Please, send me an email via Nairaland and we connect from there. I have a lot of past questions we can tackle.

Modalities:
3-4hrs daily (Numerical 2hrs and Verbal 2hrs).
Platform - Google Meets as we would be sharing our screens while studying.
Checking up on each other and giving feedback on study methods.
Cracking many exam secrets and analyzing them holistically.
1 person, preferably a female who applied for Advisory but not limited to that, Assurance and Tax can also be picked.

PS: I applied for Advisory Services and have about 2+ years of experience in the Technology and Energy space.

Thanks so much.

Alvington95:


Hmmmm... Thanks for this. Without the job offer I intended resigning before sha... The environment is toxic and I get a monthly pay of 15k as a graduate and they don't intend increasing the salary just the workload.

Hope you have not resigned yet?

Then we need to take a chill pill. It's their recruitment.
It might be in batches, and if it's not in batches. We move

Did you submit on time?

OKENNAPRINCE:

When did you do your case study? I had mine since last week and havent gotten any update on personality or the next stage.

Listen to this guy

OJURONGBE1:

Computer/Electrical Engineering
Business Management /Finance
Economics (enrol for CFA)
Accounting (enrol for ATS/ ICAN)
Social works/ Peace & Conflict studies/Foreign language (French & Mandarin) High in demand for expatriates, United Nations, African Union,ECOWAS, WHO.
These are marketable courses that can give you a good chance to lead a decent life after youth service but your grade ( First class & very good Upper class) & age (below 27) after graduation matters.
I wish you all the best.

I agree with you
