| Big 4 Rarelyy entertains anybody who's still a student !! They are not even considering Affiliates and Qualified rite now as the market condition in UAE is not so green as it used to be !! Moreover, if you have zero experience or a little, seriously forget Big4 !! |

Danish 4,
Best time to move will be September to Febuarry for Big 4 in UAE .
There is no criteria depends on situation the firm is facing. Depends on clients and staff level in the firm. Ernst & Young is best in UAE.
All the best…..

All the firms take part qualified... Mostly at Assistant level...
My ex-collegue joined E & Y as ACCA part qualified. I have my assistants as Part Qualified ACCA's..
All the Firms are have Plus and Negative points...KPMG has more work pressure compared to other and it depends on which Office of Big 4 you join or Section...

Danish,
7 papers or 13 papers it is Part Qualified. .Experience of a Good Audit firms count specially Big 4 is preferred..
Further, it depends at what time you are applying, which mode you have applied (Online Application or Staff referral - this is the best ...
Being an Affiliate and applying in the Big 4 is safe bet but it is not a guarantee so always pray for your luck.
It is my personal opinion, application send from Abroad are hardly entertained compared to any candidate who is present in the country.
Assistant salary depends on which Big 4 you join and what assistant level but it should not be less than 5K .I have no idea for assistant level recruitment at this time although Seniors have pretty more chances to be recruited compared to assistants.
So focus more on your exams and become an affiliate. Then come to UAE when market is good for accountants.
All the best

One needs to have strong financial accounting knowledge.
Actual stage is the Technical Interview which will decide the fate of application.. |

Thanx, work timings are from 8:30 to 6:30 usually. I'm working for Sajjad Haider and Company in Dubai. As far earning is concerned, I can easily support myself. And I am not worried about earning more because it's matter of experience for some years. A.H even in a very small firm you get as much stipend that you can support yourself. You apply to all the firms in UAE and if possible do visit and drop CV in person, that will probably more helpful in getting the job...

| After working hard in the office for 9 to 10 hours, you get tired and want to relax for some hours. Studying becomes really hard if you mess in the flat with your roommates and go to gym to maintain your health... |

Conditions in Dubai are not ideal these days because of global economic crises rather it has hit Dubai the most, I would say. Abu Dhabi and Sharjah are not that much affected by the same....
As far Salary package is concerned, you earn that much to support yourself easily but if one wants to support one's family, it becomes difficult. |
