Hi all, I'm going to graduate next month as a Bachelor in Accounting student. Currently I'm doing my internship in Big 4 (Audit Intern).

As far as I know, the salary and future prospects is good for a fresh grad. But, I kinda not liking the working culture as an auditor. (It can be due to Subline/the firm,...idk)

Do ya'll have any idea (other than being an auditor) what other jobs that have the same / similar future prospect for an accounting graduates? Salary is not my priority at this point of time.

Personally, I prefer FP&A line, but I would to hear your opinions.

Thanks in advance.

Need some advices on professional paper to choose

Hello seniors, I'm currently having some options in front of me after my graduation. They are CFA, ACCA, and CIMA.

If I go for CIMA:
I am eligible for the A star Program.

If I choose CFA
I'm really not sure about this as I know it is extremely tough compare to ACCA and CIMA (according to some websites). If I do so, I'm planning to enroll myself when I work (study along working).

Whereas for ACCA[U], I'm facing a problem of choosing the subjects. As far as I know, most of the ACCA candidates choose ATX and AAA, but for me I don't want those. I'm thinking of taking AFM and (APM or AAA) as my electives. (Is it a weird combination?) The reason why AAA is in the list because according to some of my seniors, it provides a more general and wider view on how a business operates. APM to avoid AAA. AFM because I'm interest in the investing field.

How would you rank the difficulty of the electives?
For me: ATX > AAA > APM > AFM

Another bigggg problem is I don't really know what to do in the future. Sometimes, investment banking is in my mind, sometimes, financial analyst pops up, sometimes, financial manager, sometimes, funds manager. sometimes, business analyst.....

Yeah I know, none of them is easy. That's why I need some your insights/views. So I can avoid myself from some landmines.

Thanks in advance
