Hello everyone! Hope y'all are all doing well :')
I know this is something unlike the usual singing content but I wanna try something new (i.e. documenting days in my life).
The audit busy season started in January 2022 and I was thinking of sharing some of my days at work with you guys. This vlog was actually filmed in January and it took me a while to edit because I was caught up with work (also, a lot has happened since). Still alive but barely breathin'.
Hopefully I can make it through the remaining months of the busy season.
Anyway, do let me know/comment down below if y'all enjoyed the vlog and if you guys want more of such vlogs.
Till then. Take care and stay safe!
*Further, I would like to apologise for using an inappropriate word. Thank you one of the viewers for pointing it out to me. I have made edits to censor the word out and would be more careful in the future.

Surprised how not up to date Deloitte SG is, it should all be work from home unless client needs? Wasting 2 hours a day just commuting and going to work just to chit chat doesn't get anywork done.

I literally do not miss Big 4 public life. Started off in a mid-sized firm, and it was much closer to actual work-life balance than what the big firms peddled. After 3yrs, I got the hell out and went into industry. It was a good background, and gave my resume a lot more attention than had I done my first 3yrs in just industry. But so happy to be out, and never going back.

I’m litteraly in the process of get out of a big four after 2 years which is enough for me. No work life balance for almost two years especially during Covid. I felt exhausted at some time I have never been that mentally exhausted before

Hey guys… I got accepted from big four internship, but I already know it’s probably not for me… (they want me to have a clear plan already that makes me feel so pressured about next three years and more:((( ) I am very anxious that everyone says there is no work-life balance for big 4 accounts. Like including my accts prof, I have never seen people who talked positively in the long run about their job. Also they love to say having big 4 name will open so much door, but is it really? I am an international student going to college in the states, but I am lost. Like I want to just live in a small cottage with nature and just chill.

@marlaysha_t Жыл бұрын

Big 4 will definitely open more doors for you, but if you think it’s not for you then don’t go for it. Honestly, doing it would help you figure out if you want to be in big 4, and if not, it would still benefit you in the long run for future job opportunities. Basically, just test the waters to see what you like and don’t like.

I think to go in with an open mind and always make sure u learn/take away something from each engagement. If possible, you could try out doing an internship during busy season period to get a sense of how it is like before joining as a full-time staff. Good luck and congratulations on the offer! 👏🏼

hmmm, i believe there are always advantages and disadvantages, fun times and tough times being in a big 4/audit (or in any other fields of work). Everyone’s experience is different too! :) i definitely had good & fun times during peak with my colleagues too. Where we support each other and push through the busy season together. You can always try out first to see if it’s something you like/want to do. Thereafter, you can plan your next move.

I noticed that you used the word "Jap" to describe your Japanese Bento boxes. Please be considerate and do a bit of research. The word "Jap" used in a Japan related context, is considered a racial slur, and typically only used in a derogatory and insulting manner.

Hi there, I would really like to sincerely apologise for being inconsiderate. Thank you reaching out and letting me know that I was being insensitive and teaching me. I have censored the word from the video (but it might take a few hours to be processed). Once again, I am really really sincerely sorry and embarrassed. I will do my research properly for any future videos.
