da royal diary abt staying alive

my senior told me recently, that whether or not one stays long in audit, depends on luck. i totally agree with what she said. it depends on the portfolio and the kind of aic (auditor in charge) and the type of clients that one gets. most importantly, I guess, is the team tt one gets.


you can get a looooousy/incompetent client whose accounts and documents are in a mess, and hence you cannot find what u want, and as a result you gotto do OT....

or you can get a sucky client who yells n screams at you (even before you walk to her desk: DUN COME AH! I NOT FREE!! or WHY YOU ASK THIS???)

or even worse, you get an aic who is CONSTANTLY pms-ing. either that, or she s going through menopause @ a young age of <30.>

the above three (permutate-d and combinate-d) will give sufficient reason/s for one to feel like quitting.

HOWEVER, we muz never forget that audit is abt "TEAMWORK "--> the magic word that we always use during interviews --> by always claiming that we can work well in a team...yadda yadda...
i guess now this sentence takes on a different meaning frm what it was supposed to mean during our interviews. TEAMWORK now means that you:

bitch about the stupidity/incompetence of the client,

bitch about the bitchY accountant


AND


bitch about the menopaus-ing AIC


as a TEAM

=) =) =)

and OF COURSE, we muz never forget that even if the worse comes to the worst, (ie you dun hav a team to bitch with), you still have a bunch of friends who will surely stick by you in the office!!
