day in the life of big 4 accountant auditor (busy season) // 1

[@baansiin]

As someone in Finance, watching this, it brings back memories (literally 2 weeks ago) of the auditors flooding my team with requests, and me being red each time🙃🙃

[@zailey]

Understandable & definitely know where u are coming from. 🫠 I’m sorry u’ve got to deal with that.. 😕 But I’m always super thankful that most of my clients are patient with my team.

[@alexkg1]

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.

[@styl3k1fry]

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

[@zailey]

@@styl3k1fry rip 💀 Relatable… I’m only just about to leave the office (as i’m typing this). Can’t believe it’s still busy season for most of my colleagues and I 🥲 Anyway, I do hope u find ur way out 🥹

[@allanchan7087]

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.

[@Junniechi]

Just wanna say the algorithm gods have sent your video to my homepage! Love the video and all the best for all your ventures!

[@zailey]

[@tugaycolak9803]

holyyyy fuckkkkkk busy season and you finish your sleep in 8.00, finish your day at 6PM !!!!!! I'm in office in 8AM and I finish my job in 11 PM fOOOK

[@zailey]

nah, it’s just one of the rare days.. usually i end work at 12 - 2am or later (u’ll see me in office lol), depending on how many backlogs i have.

[@v.iv.i.chatte]

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]

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.

[@carloshn290]

dont accept less than 50k haha... good luck

[@sevb3152]

It's refreshing to see an auditor do these kind of videos! And yes I agree with you that it's important to have time for yourself to avoid burnouts. :D

[@omeirkhan4561]

Even then i still get burnt out 💀, I think im just useless how did I even end up at the big 4 🥲

[@jj_1341]

@@omeirkhan4561 same here :(

[@zailey]

@@omeirkhan4561 don’t feel that way!! i’m sure u have ur own set of strengths that helped u land a job at the firm :) busy season has always been super challenging for many of us, especially as workload increases & headcount falls short. i know it may not be easy, but try to take a step at the time. just try ur best and remember to take care of urself (both mentally & physically). i hope u are able to get through this busy season! 💪🏼 u can do this! :)

[@omeirkhan4561]

@@zailey Thank you much , anyone with a person like yourself on their team have been blessed , you’re exactly who everyone needs in their team especially in busy season 😭, but you are so right keeping in good health both mentally and physically is so important in these times , we’ll get through it for sure!!

[@aravindsenthil5444]

got a basic role, of an audit associate at kpmg, idk I don’t feel happy for myself straight after my ug. Idk why I don’t feel happy but i wanted to study in the us after this. Hope i do achieve something that im really proud of

[@Ganbei4You]

Great Video! Props to actually showing which B4 you work for since most YT channels never do that. Do you really work off of one monitor or was that just done for the video?

[@DavidFoale1]

So do you basically get a normal Xmas time off to chill and relax.. with fewer work expectations.. but knowing that in January you hand over your life / time to the Company?🤔

Hello!! Tho Audit is a killer how you think is the culture!

[@kymanim.1381]

How can I move to Singapore and work in audit?

[@Kutty_Vaadhi_TheOG]

I've got placed in Deloitte - USI for Audit ♥️ . Going to join on 2023 , But I don't have any idea about it 🥺 Can you give me some tips ?

[@zailey]

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! 👏🏼

you slept at 4am?

[@zailey]

well, yeah, but maybe from Jan - Feb? i was trying to do things i liked after work which was usually after 12am/1am(?) (during busy season/peak period). but that soon took a toll on my body, so i had to stop & go to bed earlier (for the sake of my own sanity). 🥲

[@tazrinahmed5326]

@@zailey I’m joining big4 in a month. This looks scary 😟

[@zailey]

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.
