1, major: unlimited. Although auditing and taxation are specialized courses, graduates with good ability and quality will be easy to get started through training. However, it is undeniable that students majoring in finance and accounting have considerable advantages (generally, the enrollment ratio of students majoring in related fields is about 50% every year).
2. Application: Every year 10, four metropolises hold campus presentations in the main battlefields of Shanghai-Fudan University, Jiaotong University, Shanghai International Studies University and Finance University. Students from Tongji University, Shanghai University and University of Foreign Trade also have the opportunity to submit resumes. Students from other universities can also apply through the Big Four official website (generally, about 4 forms should be filled out). After applying online, the other party will reply with a confirmation letter, and then confirm whether to conduct an interview and the date of the interview through the resume.
3. Resume: Ernst & Young and KPMG are required to fill in the high school (college entrance examination) scores; PricewaterhouseCoopers is required to fill in the grade points, total grade points and class rankings of each semester (converted according to a fixed formula); KPMG is required to truthfully fill in whether it has a criminal record, whether it has a work permit in Hong Kong, whether it can work in other cities in China, whether it has participated in the company's summer internship, etc.
4. Process: The "Big Four" have different operating methods and new changes every year, but the principle of examining basic abilities such as English, logic and numbers through written tests is the same. Deloitte takes the four steps of "online application → written test → group discussion (no manager interview, everyone's materials are the same) → one-on-one interview", while Ernst & Young and KPMG pay more attention to English ability. After screening resumes, PricewaterhouseCoopers will go directly to the "evaluation center" for analysis (everyone's materials are different), debate and written test. There will also be industry-related knowledge questions later, mainly to examine whether job seekers are interested in and have potential in auditing, taxation and other industries. On the other hand, you will face your partners directly-interest, communication and teamwork, which are the unified standards for selecting talents for the Big Four. After the written examination and re-examination, the four universities will issue written admission notices in the middle and late February of 12.
5. Test: one is logical and intelligent (written test). Second, the professional aptitude test is only used as a reference factor in the interview, but it often has a decisive influence on the final stay. The third is group interview. Job seekers will be divided into several groups to communicate, which usually includes reading materials, discussing and explaining problems. , pay attention to the ability of communication and cooperation. Students who actively speak and become team leaders or controllers are more likely to be recognized.
6. Male VS female: According to statistics, men generally mature three years later than women psychologically, which is also confirmed in the proportion of employees in the "Big Four"-the female employees of Puhua are twice as many as men, and the final admission result of KPMG interview is 2: 8, so considering the work intensity and gender balance within the enterprise, the opportunities that better boys can get are often the same as those of excellent girls.

Handling methods of the big four accounting firms (for reference only):
The salaries of the Big Four are second only to those of a few foreign-funded companies. Take PwC's current monthly salary as an example. The first year's salary of newcomers is about 7 1500 yuan, and the monthly salary is about 4,000 yuan, increasing by 30% every year according to rank. The starting salary of newcomers such as KPMG, Deloitte and Ernst & Young is also around 5,000 yuan/month. In fact, the other two items that affect the final income-travel allowance and overtime pay-are considerable: the price difference between KPMG and Deloitte is 180 yuan/day, while Ernst & Young and PricewaterhouseCoopers are slightly inferior, with 150 yuan/day. The "Big Four" adopt overtime, or OT system. Taking the work intensity as an example (conservative estimation), the average hourly overtime pay is 50 CNY( 1.5 times, 2 times and 3 times added), and the annual overtime pay can exceed 1 10,000 yuan.
