Angry and then estatic and euphoric. Then confused. Now i'm just plain tired.
Lets skip the angry part cuz its pointless, pretty much over it. So the happy part, a friend called out of the blue, yesterday.
I was supposed to go for an all expenses trip to Penang but it was full when i registered. So, i complained to this friend, who quickly contacted me when he heard someone backed out at the last minute! Yahooooooooo =)
See? Complaining isnt all that bad.
Happy happy happy =) Monash is paying for EVERYTHING! Smiles! 3 Days 2 nights, who cares where i stay, its free! Have to listen to some accounting talks but it doesnt look too bad. Might fall asleep half of it, but i'm sure the other half would be good for me.
I was sleeping like a pig in the evening, as i usually do. Phone rings, never expected this call.
As said, I applied for two of the big four accounting firm, Firm B finally accepted me. I don't know which one to go for! I don't know, i don't know!
Help me! Which do u think i should go for?
Tax at Firm A
Pro:
1. Don't have to stay back late!
2. Sounds cool and interesting... but i may be mistaken
3. I heard its easier
4. Not so stressful
5. Not so stressful
Cons:
1. Must wear skirts from Monday to Friday and cannot wear my boots
2. RM9 a day parking MINIMUM! this rate is the parking rate of 2005
3. Low pay (RM500 a month)
4. Too specialised, learn less than Audit
5. Don't get to travel much
Audit at Firm B
Pro:
1. RM5 a day parking
2. Can wear pants and can wear my boots
3. Learn more
4. Possible to earn MORE than the standard miserable RM500 allowance for interns
5. Get to travel to clients' offices
Cons:
1. Staying back everyday, possibly sacrificing weekends as well.
2. The work (tracing and vouching) is definitely BORINGGGGGGGGGGGGG. And i'll have to QUESTION the client's staff
3. Stressful
4. Stressful
5. Stressful

they both sound quite balanced. i say A if ur lazy, B if u want to learn more.
Do wat u prefer.. Do u prefer auditing or tax?? Then go from that.. No point doin sumthing ur not tat interested in rite? Joy of learning.. :D (God I'm really weirding myself out.. Charlotte did not juz say tat!!) hehe
You won't have a life doing audit.
Supplementals, thats why i'm confused lar... everyone knows i'm lazy. But...
Charlotte, hahaha, ok, u didn't say the joy of learning! I THINK i have an interest in tax but to be honest, i have totally no idea what it is about.
Chuang Shyue Chou, but friends keep saying audit is like the base... learn more blah blah blash and its easier to switch to tax from audit but not easy to switch from tax to audit...
What if i take audit for internship and go straight to tax after graduating? At least then i would at least know what audit is about.
But if i do that, i would remain clueless about tax! Irritating...
don't complaint, i didnt get a single intern =.=
Not complaining, just confused. Did u try calling them to see if they received your resume? The first time i applied for firm B they didnt receive my resume... then i had to send again by email
I can't say more unfortunately as I didn't enter for profession. Did you speak to your seniors and also auditors about this?
Yup, i did, one adviced me to go for audit and the other told me to choose what i want.
I don't think i have much choice... since i already signed... and anyway, i don't wanna tie myself down too much (stress). Might have to do 2-3 years of audit for experience after graduating
hmm i think the major reason you go for an intern is to learn & gain extra experience rite?
Firm B seems likely to offer you more on that.. though it might b very stressful, perhaps you'll learn how to manage stress from there? hehe
also have to depend on urself, whether u intend to go into Tax / Audit in future?
good luck in finalize your choice! ;)
I chose firm A cuz i wanna know what tax is about. If i really love it, after graduating, i can go straight into it.
If i don't like it, i'll just have to do audit, which is sort of like the basis of the accounting profession. I'll have to spend 2-3years there after i graduate so... don't see the point of adding another 2 months of hell into my life! Hahaha
Thanks for your opinion! =)
