Big Four auditor quits over 10am–2am grind, now regrets it after 30 applications yield just one rejected interview
SINGAPORE: Walking away from a job that drains the life out of you sounds like an easy decision in theory. In practice, it can be one of the most punishing choices a person makes
A Singaporean man who quit his job at a Big Four auditing firm due to grueling 10 am to 2 am workdays is now questioning his decision after applying for over 30 positions and receiving only a single interview, which resulted in rejection. The man, who shared his story on Reddit, admitted to feeling regret over his choice, stating that both landing a job and his personal plans, such as purchasing a BTO flat and getting married, were at stake.
He turned to the community for advice, seeking guidance on whether to continue applying for various roles or transition to commercial accounting. Several users encouraged him to move on and not dwell on his past actions, emphasizing the challenging and volatile nature of the job market. Others sympathized with his decision to prioritize his well-being and advised him to keep applying while remaining open to new opportunities.
