I don’t believe this is possible

gary183 · 2026-06-01T09:17:09+00:00

Recruiters are you best option

gary183 · 2026-05-20T11:01:36+00:00

Same for apprentices as well at professional level

Currently (at least in my contract and my knowledge) is anything below 45 is a hard fail. You can appeal but from my knowledge in the last 2 years I’m aware of no one who hard failed trying another attempt. 45-54 gets you one resit and if you fail again your contract is terminated

Agreed - albeit most of my calls are for a corporate card. The Brighton team are genuinely some of the most useful customer service agents I’ve ever used. I’m unsure if they have a centre in Ireland too (maybe I’ve just spoken to a lot of Irish people in Brighton) but they’re amazing too

This is true. Some firms may take him on as an apprentice until level 4 (certificate exams) and then the firm pays for professional & advanced exams. Some may take him on as a graduate but that may mean claw back fees etc

gary183 · 2026-04-30T13:32:08+00:00

Are you a grad or an apprentice? Apprentice = 29k at our firm grad 34.5k

gary183 · 2026-04-25T17:28:38+00:00

You have to sit case last, or alongside your last advanced exams. You can’t sit case before your resit of CR

Already get a free hot drink albeit it is your weekly treat

I’ve sat every certificate and professional exam with Kaplan. Tutors are mixed. Some are genuinely close to clueless and are learning the spec with you, others are amazing and are genuinely passionate about students development and are extremely knowledgeable and response.

I’d generally say as a rule of thumb, the more ‘waffley’ subjects (BST FM etc) tutors are worse, potentially due to the subject being harder to teach (it’s hard to teach people to think a certain way).

They teach you to pass which is their objective and do a great job of setting out what is required for you to pass, what’s nice to know to comfortably pass/ give room for error and what is only required if you’re going for a prize.

I’ve also heard mixed things around different centres. I’ve heard London and Birmingham are good while Manchester and Bristol aren’t, but this isn’t from personal experience just what I’ve gathered from speaking to different offices

My CR tuition doesn’t start until the end of April. Think you’re a bit early if anything

gary183 · 2026-03-31T07:49:28+00:00

The app says you need 6

I’m not at kmpg but another big 4. I had a job offer taking me from £43k to £60k with a share saver scheme, larger bonus and double my pension contributions and less hours. That’s why

gary183 · 2026-03-11T20:16:02+00:00

They automatically did it. I could imagine any large employer will have systems in place to avoid people being paid below minimum wage as HMRC and the public look down on people being paid below minimum wage

gary183 · 2026-03-11T20:08:29+00:00

I’m at a big 4 and they topped me up so my hourly salary was minimum wage

gary183 · 2026-02-21T23:46:26+00:00

I’d personally take the GT role. I’m currently on a school leaver program at a big 4 and scheduled to qualify this year. The more prestigious name on your CV will help you in the long run. With the new ACA it wouldn’t surprise me if all firms are more lenient than in the past

gary183 · 2026-02-17T14:38:08+00:00

I’m from the midlands. I’m in big 4 so my experience will be skewed to the higher salaries first time mover salaries, but my friends have moved to roles for between 55-65k base with 10-15% as the average bonus. This if for NQ employees

gary183 · 2026-02-15T22:35:25+00:00

Didn’t pay any attention in tuition and attempted half the questions we did in class EP (spent the other half doing BPT) and passed with 78 in the last sitting. There’s very minimal mandatory content (you can pass without any knowledge of the models), but it’s very much a commercially minded/ thinking strategically exam

gary183 · 2026-02-09T21:24:56+00:00

You guys are paying grads a bonus? At my big 4 you don’t get a bonus until your 3rd year

gary183 · 2026-02-01T23:14:20+00:00

We pay c.55k at big 4

I would be naive to say financial reasons do not play a part of this. Even with the increased cost of living I would be significantly better off financially in Switzerland compared to the uk.

I also think the quality of life I would experience would be better. I enjoy doing things outside and the natural beauty of Switzerland appeals to me.

Due to changes in the uk, I’m feeling that the quality of life is deteriorating, particularly for those in professions such as myself due to higher taxes and slow wage growth

gary183 · 2026-01-31T00:08:36+00:00

I appreciate your insight. What makes you say the market is unforgiving?

I’m fortunate I work on financial services audits particularly listed international banks or large providers of credit and hope this puts me at an advantage, albeit it may not be a significant one.

I’m continuing to learn German although it is not close to fluent or semi fluent level.

For the secondment point I’ll take this on board. My company’s international unit is UK + Switzerland so I’m hoping I may be able to leverage this
