This video is extremely helpful and will definitely help me out big time. Thanks a lot guys for passing on your knowledge to the younger generation. Bless you guys.
Hi Matt and Rachel, thanks for a really insightful video. I am curious about how an inexperienced, untrained and unqualified accountant exists to make part- and fully-qualified accountants’ lives easier - I actually would have thought it’s probably the other way around - but perhaps that’s a PwC versus Deloitte debate (video coming soon?). Some other things I’d love to hear more about (I’ll be checking the interwebs for a follow up video) on maximising your time in a big 4 environment include how to negotiate your own client portfolio to work with clients you enjoy, speaking to seniors ahead of time about experience you want to gain on specific projects or parts of an audit you want exposure to, opportunities to get involved in training and volunteering, social and sports clubs within the firm, working within a variety of industries, and possibly even doing a cycle of experience in another area of the business (capital markets advisory, transaction services, tax for example). Also, would love to know where you got those gin glasses from - they look excellent.
Hello: 1- After the busy period is there a general review of wrk done? 2- I recently got accepted an offer into KPMG. So in my research (on TH-cam), I have seen so many people talk about certificate programs (ACA). How do u manage your time during the busy season alongside the certification exams? Is the ACA or ACCA or any other certification programs imperative for juniors?
Currently at a big 4 firm doing training contract. There won’t be any college or qualification stuff during busy season. At my firm (EY) grads do loads of college in first few months, then are back at college after busy season.
Found this video really useful! Loved the honesty and down-to-earth nature of it. Giving sound advice and just being chill about it all. Thumbs up!
Awesome, thank you!
