These consulting firms need to be held more accountable. They sit there telling other businesses how to run their organisations yet theirs cultures are flat, expectations of workers to work ridiculous hours up until the late hours of morning.

@gerardjosephjavier8283 3 года назад

Its actually true that there is no work life balance in the audit but its actually fun at the same time because I am learning. :)

@tasbihaliaqat4062 3 года назад

Completely agree. There is literal no segregation of social-work life but its still challenging and a good option to take up to exceed in the Accounting and Finance world.

@successbysanjna 3 года назад

Totally agree, but only to a certain extent can it be fun! Alot of my friends who worked in audit, said it was fun too but only for a certain time. They were having to work long hours everyday and they quickly burnt out.

@adamclarke2304 3 года назад

As the 3 of you professionals are in agreement on this topic, I have a question as a first year Accounting and Finance student in college. Is there a certain point you get past in the Big 4 where a work-life balance is attainable ? For example you take up a position that has a certain level of seniority where you can pick and choose your own hours ? Also, how high does the salary really go in the Big 4 ? Do you guys really work under partners who are earning 6 and even 7 figures ? Thanks so much guys, hope yous can inform me !

@tasbihaliaqat4062 3 года назад

@@adamclarke2304 I am not 100% familiar with the salary estimates, it is something which you can see on various websites as they provide a realistic average. However, for the balance between work and life at higher positions, from my own experience of seeing Directors, Managers in the top 10 firm I work, the answer is no. They are also working after office hours even on Saturdays and till 12 am in busy season. So as Sanjana said, it is fun only to an extend where you are experiencing a rush of realistic audit work rest it is very tiring.

Big 4 grad schemes now are just impossible. You pretty much either need a relevant degree or be ridiculously bright. Anyone else, no chance.

@successbysanjna 3 года назад

Not necessarily, I had a single Commerce degree and no I was not ridiculously bright. They are actually so open to people who are from different walks of life. Have you tried applying?

@ollieking31 3 года назад

Hi sandra I want to ask you as a 13 year old what should I do now in order to be a CFO in the future. Because being a CFO in the future is my dream

@successbysanjna 3 года назад

That's awesome to think like that at such a young age! I would suggest getting into the finance line of study and work to ensure you get there. There isn't certain things to study but I would recommend searching some CFO's on LinkedIn at big organisations and see what they studied and their work experience :) Hope that helps!

@shaznewa752 3 года назад

Study Bcom (finance) or Bachelor of business science in finance. This is wat we have in our university Universities have different names for degrees sometimes but say you want to major in FINANCE when you research or ask people. But I also think an accounting degree can get you there.
