7th Jan 2014 marks my 2 years and 6 months in the firm with all the happiness, sweats and tears! It is very hard for me to come out this decision after thinking over and over again as my mission of staying in the firm for 3 years is just so near, exactly 6 more months to complete.
I like the firm since I had a chance to have a corporate visit in my third year of uni times. It was the first big four firm i had a visit and the HR here are so friendly made us feel so welcomed so as the office environment here is nice. I pushed myself with a goal to pass my degree with flying colour so that I am eligible for the academic requirement here and eventually I really did it!
After few interviews by HR and department managers (I also don't know why), I finally got the job offer which I don't even hesitate to have a second thought to think of other firms. I just pictured myself being here 5 years after in this career as a very successful professional.
Well, things doesn't completely turn into the future how I pictured myself here which I had to say GoodBye here not even 3 years. Honestly, i learned everything about audit from this firm especially few great managers in training and on job who guided me to improve from time to time. I met a lot of great people, like my seniors and friends here who been through two peak period here, turning from a fresh graduate to a better person who I am today. From the yearly promotion list, I felt myself being appreciated and it is definitely a great move to drive me working harder and harder.
However, with a higher position, expectation getting more from everyone, I just don't think I am still the one who I would love to be when I was childhood. I have been working and working and I am still don't know where I am heading to and I am no longer the person who just joined the firm in 13th June 2011 with full of passion and positive energy.
Everyone has their own time to say Good Bye and have a idea future like. For now, I would like take a short break and planning my future :)
