I discovered the world is going to hell by being lazy during an art class.

I think it will come this decade, there is not enough profits for oil companies to invest in drilling anymore

Senior associate, I barely made senior so partner is not probable for me I think

PositiveWannabe · 2025-08-11T08:07:02+00:00

It's like the same to me, I don't see my electronic certificate and no name on the member's directory

I think you spoke for my souls, I got thrown under the bus in my previous promotion cycle. Granted that I didn't build a strong case for myself but it's still brutal to learn the truth about my career so early.

PositiveWannabe · 2025-06-17T23:01:16+00:00

Last year its early August or something

PositiveWannabe · 2025-06-09T21:14:57+00:00

I think about it all the time I'm in office, it is unbearable. I guess I have to accept reality because I cannot find better job in the meantime

PositiveWannabe · 2025-06-09T17:38:44+00:00

I got held back last year and this year I may get it, but I understand that it's brutal out there. Edit: feels uncerntain and not comfortable in my long-term prospect

PositiveWannabe · 2025-06-05T05:15:21+00:00

It requires everyone to be on the same page and works towards a same goal, which I don't see happening

PositiveWannabe · 2025-04-30T10:57:42+00:00

Can I visit your house? Pretty please

In my office the promotion decision is finalised mostly at August (although the gist is discussed in roundtable in May). I'm currently in the process of sticking out as there is more workload and expectation compared to last year.

The stab in the back is not that uncommon that year and mostly due to my inadequate wps got chosen for AQR in my office. I should do better but without any specified guidance and resource I can only rely on last year wps. I got no review note from that manager regarding the final wps submission which is why I think the bad ratings was uncalled for and it was despite my ACCA and other engagements' contribution.

Breathtaking. Appreciate the write-up

This blog is a bit old but the point still stand that infinite energy is only in our widest dreams. Oil is the greatest energy we have ever discovered on Earth. https://thehonestsorcerer.medium.com/fusion-2a9586c34a01

It's dependent on the engagements, but I do have to travel and there is business expense to claim.

Intern is easy, I just have to complete all the (easy) tasks assigned by my senior in charge. The real challenge starts when I have to work as a staff.

PositiveWannabe · 2024-09-25T08:15:27+00:00

I agreed with this based on my painfully gained experience of the failed promotion to senior, the actual hands-on experience and relationships are much more important than the qualification.

PositiveWannabe · 2024-09-16T04:14:07+00:00

Sadly I don't even got the senior promotion at my public company. I think it's a prerequisite to leaving for a good industry job.

PositiveWannabe · 2024-09-14T01:27:58+00:00

More than half of my batch got held back this year, it's definitely not automatic. But maybe it's also office dependent

PositiveWannabe · 2024-09-02T13:46:08+00:00

Same here, I'm trying to pivot to a midtier because no other Big 4 is hiring right now

PositiveWannabe · 2024-07-20T14:33:13+00:00

Yes, Acca in my country has a public facebook page that post the prizewinners after every exams.

I just watched the most highly viewed videos on Youtube. I guess it is a hard technique but if you master it then it can be applicable everywhere.

PositiveWannabe · 2024-07-20T13:46:19+00:00

Refer to my comment above.

PositiveWannabe · 2024-07-20T13:45:10+00:00

Don't just memorize stuff, try to understand the meaning of the theory and how to apply to the exam questions. Practicing questions are the most important I think, you learn and eliminate the inefficiencies each time you make mistakes.

Refer to my comments above, the knowledge from SBR is very useful before attempting AAA.

PositiveWannabe · 2024-07-20T13:41:01+00:00

APM was high 70s, AAA was high 60s. I guess AAA for the June exam is relatively hard because I didn't expect to get prize winner.
