Hey everyone,

Need some honest advice from people in KPMG / audit / risk roles.

I’m currently working as a Transfer Pricing Analyst at a KPMG, but my background is actually more aligned with audit and taxation. I have ~4 years of experience overall — most of it in CA firms where I’ve handled statutory audits, tax audits, ITR filings, and worked on internal controls and compliance-related areas.

Right now, I’ve come across an Internal Audit (Executive) opening within KPMG Assurance & Consulting Services, and the role involves process consulting, risk advisory, and internal audit work — which is more in line with where I want to build my career long-term.

A couple of things I’m thinking about:

- I’m currently pursuing MSc in International Accounting & Finance and ACCA (6/13 cleared, more exemptions expected soon)

- My current role is in Transfer Pricing, so I’m worried about how strongly my profile will be considered for IA internally

- I’ve heard switching early is easier vs getting stuck in TP longer

My question is:

👉 Should I apply right away for this IA role, or wait until I complete more ACCA papers / get formal exemptions to strengthen my profile?

Also:

👉 From a hiring perspective, would my prior audit + tax experience be considered relevant enough for Internal Audit / Risk roles, despite my current TP role?

Would really appreciate insights from anyone in IA / Risk / KPMG hiring side.

Happy to share more details if needed. Thanks in advance!

Used ChatGpt to align my thoughts

Hi everyone, I have received a call for Associate Consultant FM - DAS - Integration and Separation team. It would be great if someone from a similar team can share their interview experience or give me some tips in how to prepare best

Hey guys,

I need some honest advice.

I’ve got an offer for a Senior Associate role in Big4 (risk/data privacy side) and I’m a bit confused after reading mixed reviews everywhere.

Some people say it’s great for learning and growth, others say it’s too hectic, long hours, multiple clients, burnout etc.

I come from a more stable background and don’t have hardcore consulting experience yet, so I'm just trying to understand the reality before joining.

A few things I wanted to know from people

actually working there:

What does your typical day look like?

Is the work mostly documentation (like audits, assessments etc.) or more client-heavy?

How bad are the working hours really?

Do you get any work-life balance at all?

How much travel or client-side work is involved?

Is it manageable for someone new to consulting?

Not looking for sugarcoated answers — just want the real picture so I don’t regret the decision later.

Thanks!

Hey all,

Looking for some real insights from people who’ve been through KPMG India hiring.

Context:

- **Cleared all rounds for a Consulting (**Data Privacy) role at KPMG India

- HR discussion happened last week (Tuesday)

- I quoted ~14L fixed based on existing offers (shared with HR)

- HR mentioned i need to check on this compensation and she said she’ll get back in 1-2 days

Since then:

- It’s been ~1 week

- Sent multiple follow-ups → no response at all

- No rejection / no update / complete silence

Now I’m trying to understand what this typically means:

1. Is this kind of delay normal at KPMG when approvals are involved?

2. Does silence usually mean “on hold / backup candidate” or “rejected but not communicated”?

3. Do they come back after a week+ in such cases or should I stop expecting?

4. At what point do you consider this effectively closed?

I do have other offers in hand and need to decide soon, so trying to gauge whether to wait or move on.

Would appreciate honest inputs—especially from folks in consulting / Big 4.

Thanks!

Totally confused between PwC India CP&I role vs KPMG KGS Management Consulting role.

Can someone help me which one to choose & which will help me in my career advancement?

Help me guys please.

Hey i have my interview for my internship i am currently doing MBA, any suggestions or guidance it’s for the role of insight led sales.

I got this email from KPMG asking me to submit a few documents and CAF form. Just trying to understand what this means for my candidature; does it usually indicate I’m close to the final stage and selection?

Also, what should I expect next? Is it typically just an HR round (salary, role, joining date), or are there more interview rounds after this?

And how long does this stage usually take? If everything goes well, how much time does it generally take for the final offer to come through?

Hey,

Cleared all rounds for a Consulting role at KPMG India.

Had HR discussion ~2 days back, quoted ~14L fixed (based on another offer). HR said let me check with business and Since then, no update.

Just wanted to check:

- Is 2–4 days delay normal for internal approvals at KPMG?

- Do they usually come back with a counter, or go silent if budget doesn’t match?

- Should I wait or move ahead with other offer?

Would appreciate honest inputs from anyone who’s been through KPMG hiring.

Its been 3 months since I qualified and the job market is so bad and hr ghosting is so normalised its crazy. I have been told I will get offer after multiple interviews and gotten ghosted (at other companies). I really really am set on KPMG/KGS and don't know how to get in. Can anyone here help out from the inside? I am looking for M&A/FDD/FAAS/TAS/Financial Reporting roles and would really appreciate any help. I am great with picking things up and learning on the job and my previous employers have been pleasantly surprised with my deliveries of surprise/out of my scope assignments.

Need some advice and basic understanding.

Right now the meet and greet session is going on at multiple locations. By what time should i expect my offer letter and joining date?

I recently attended the L1 round for this role - custom development engineer executive

Service line - Group digital

In JD it was mentioned that the team is within cloud engineering/custom Apps team in group digital that supports the development & operations of internally developed applications

My background - I'm a backend developer with 2+ yrs exp with exposure to AWS

They asked very basic theoretical questions from python & nodejs

Coding questions - finding unique elements, sorting dictionay

They also asked me to write sql queries

But no django or express or backend question or cloud questions

Is it in this way because its L1 round?

Also is this role L3 application support role ?

Headcount decrease for D2 and D3, whats happening?

i had my final hr discussion on Monday and they accepted my expected package on the first go without negotiating.

I got a couple of emails , one asking for a photo and some details and another asking for CA membership details(which i said no, since It is a tech role).

how long will it take for them to roll out the offer?

How much does an AD in Consulting earn at KPMG india?

So I have R1 interview round scheduled with KPMG this weekend.

Can someone guide me with the kind of questions I can expect, for someone with 3 yoe as Azure DE.

If someone has already given the interview, their insights and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Had a partner interview about two weeks ago for a advisory role,had applied via a referral. Interview was decent.

Haven't heard from kpmg since. Have tried calling the HR,but no response. Have emailed them too.

Is this normal? Or is it safe to assume I have been rejected?
