BakerTilly and Big 4

azothshock — Sat, 21 Feb 2015 20:12:36 +0800

I have a year till I graduate from being a Full Time ACCA student and yea starting to think about my options.. To be honest , I really only want to do audit for like 3 years ++ just so I can get my ACCA membership and after that I might want to further my studies like get CFA or CIA .. A friend of mine suggested BakerTilly compared to the Big4 as while it is smaller , juniors get to experience a more widespread of audits .. I heard PWC and EY you'll only get to audit one specific industry ... so yea comparing BakerTilly and the Big 4 , how is it?
I heard a lot of rumors that in Big4 you will slave away till 2-3am everyday but i see my senior like getting home around 11 even during peak hours (maybe his position /department is not that hardworking ; not close enough anymore to ask) but in bakertilly will it also be till the early mornings? Please advice not exactly well knowledged in this

Edit : I'm well aware that Big4 has a better name but at this point I rather look for something that allows me to study for my CFA (preferred qualification) as well

Hello , has anyone tried nootropics such as piracetam , aniracetam and modafinil before? So far , I've only manage to get my hands on piracetam. It seems to me that stuff like modafinil are hard to find in Malaysia

Hair dye/bleach which to choose

azothshock — Tue, 21 Jan 2014 22:09:23 +0800

Hello fellow forumers~ CNY is coming and well I want to dye my hair so I'm not the boring black sheep this year (pun intended) .. So between the brands Gatsby and Liese which is better in terms of colour brightness? I actually tried both but for some retarded reason I didn't really check the colour for liese since the boxes look similar and BAM lol no real difference in hair colour... Meanwhile Gatsby bleach gave results since it's bleach but I'm pretty sure Liese has less damage and comes with a free conditioner

So any opinions?
