My KPMG Philippines "Passport To Success" Experience

This shall be a continuation of my "Life After October 2019 CPALE".

It was kind of a spontaneous decision to go to KPMG just a night before the actual event. I wasn't sure if I needed to bring my CV (and I haven't updated it for a while so that was the first thing I did when I woke up. I accessed it easily since I had a file in my phone's Google Drive.

I went out early but apparently the traffic waa too much, I ended up arriving there beating the clock. I met my friends at a McDonald's near KPMG, still wearing a t-shirt soaked in sweat, thus I had to change to a corporate attire.

Then we headed to the KPMG building, looking actually clueless, the guard probably figured out we'll be going to the "Passport to Success" event.

Upon arrival in the mezzanine, the staff adviced us to register through the laptops ans was guided inside. I immediately loved the vibe and environment of KPMG. They told us we could get snacks and asked us from what school we are from.

So we were divided into groups and the goal of the event is to complete all of the stops in the passport (and the facilitators will put stickers on the passport once done).

The first stop was about the overview of KPMG 👉 Audit 👉 Data Analytics 👉 IT Advisory 👉 HR 👉 Tax 👉 Advisory

I really liked the guy who explained about the overview of KPMG. He seemed so frank and upright. I also got the term "whatever floats your boat" from him.

In Audit, I kind of expected what they had to say since I have friends who are already auditors themselves. In Data Analytics, KPMG Clara was explained to us and I hope in the near future it would run efficiently. We had games through our mobile phones too.

Next stop was IT Advisory and I must say this one sparked my interest the most. I was a bit hesitant though, so I asked them how I could apply my knowledge as an Accountant there, thankfully I am satisfied with their answer. Somehow I felt some spark, telling me that this is the department for me.

Then we went to the HR were they talked about the culture in KPMG and they presented those people who had their secondments in other countries. Followed by Tax and Advisory who both explained their culture and what they do in their respective departments.

After completing all our passport stops, they told us to take our lunch and come back for some confidential talk.

I won't disclose further though. I have met few people from other colleges and universities who are very nice.

In all honestly, I am already liking KPMG in general, but I still have few time to decide whether I go to BIG 4, private or government.

I trust His will.
