ACCA or CPA (aus) is preferable in Singapore?

Hi, I am just trying to gather as much information as possible.

From what I know/researched, to do ACCA would be at kaplan, but the classes are in the evenings (6.45 - 9.45pm), and what I am concern is that, do auditors even finish work that early? I honestly doubt so, then how singaporeans do their professional papers then?

Because in Msia, sunway's classes are during the weekends, so that actually makes things easier.

And CPA is self study but the recognition is not as wide.

So yeah, feel free to drop any advice/opinions

BDO Singapore or Big 4 Malaysia?

Can I know if anyone in this forum is working or have worked before in BDO Singapore?! I am a fresh grad trying to gather more information on this line of career. I am interested the working culture in BDO as compared to other Big4s.

So, I've been given an offer in BDO sg (I am a Malaysian btw), with a pay of ($2.2k+ $100 allowance), Can i know if its underpaid as compared to other firms? And, I am suppose to reply them as soon as possible if i were to accept/reject their offer.

Currently, I've sent in some resumes to big4 in singapore but there's no news from Pwc which I've sent in 2 weeks ago. Anyone knows when is the recruitment period? Yesterday I've also sent in my resume for other Big4s in Singapore.

Now my dilemma would be to accept BDO sg offer? or to wait for replies from Big4 sg? or to just work in Big4 Malaysia since its much easier?

My actual long-term goal is to settle down in singapore so I'm now focusing on applying to SG. Sadly, no news from Big4 sg yet, could it be due to the fact that I'm a Malaysian so its harder to get in?

So many questions with no answers in my head.

I Welcome any advice. much appreciated.
