Well i m quite late to this topic as i was working like a gadha at the audit of Mobilink and i think that i shud add something as i m representing KPMG here.
Well Mr. Usman Shueb is right that u shud make up ur mind to work like gadhas if u are going to join any of big 4. About 25 people of my batch and class qualified CA inter with me or six months later. 10 of them are at AFF, 5 at FRSH, 7 at KPMG and 3 at Deloite. I have interaction with all of them. and the situation is same in the big 3. Deloite is developing...
I think that meeting tough deadlines and working long hours helps u alot in ur professional development. But too much of it takes u away from ur studies which is not good. I KPMG u wud get 2-3 relaxed months in a year which u shud cash. There is absolutely no issue with exam leaves for first attempt. But as the number of leaves is fixed by ICAP, u may have problems in getting the same number of leaves for second and third attempt.
I acknowledge that 4-5 years back KPMG was not like wut it is now. The work load is 10 times more, but there has been a real change in the attitude of seniors and managers as told by our managers regarding their experience when they were trainees. it is growing like an awalanchee.
I passed the test of both KPMG and AFF and got a call from both, but based on my Istikhara i joined KPMG. i would suggest u to do the same if u have an option between the two.
But if u want to make a decision of ur own i wud suggest u to join any of KPMG or AFF based on ur preference. AFF has a very big name and very good Goodwill. But factually speaking they have lost many of their clients.
Best of luck...
