Always wonder what work – and life – is like for a partner? Here’s a sneak peek.
My first job
Prior to joining PwC Malaysia in 1996, my first job was in a global professional services firm in Singapore after graduating from Nanyang Technological University. At the time, in 1992, there were six big firms instead of the four now. Large professional services firms came over to our university and pitched to us about joining their firms. Campus engagement hasn’t changed much after all these years--firms are still going directly to the talent pool to talk about the learning and development opportunities they offer and the clients they have a chance to work with. Starting a career in Assurance is still a popular option amongst graduates.
What has changed since then is how firms are now focusing more on the traits of a well-rounded professional, rather than just academic excellence. We would never have imagined back in the 90’s that we would one day use assessments like psychometric tests and Artificial Intelligence (AI) assessment tools in recruitment.
Principles I live by
As a husband, a father of two kids, and the Managing Partner who oversees a firm of about 3000 people, these are principles that I hold close to my heart:
My proudest achievement
On reflection, I may have achieved many things in life, but the achievement I am most proud of is marrying my wife, who has been at my side through life’s ups and downs.
Rise and shine!
Normally, I start my morning at 6:15am and hit the gym for 40 minutes. After working out, I need to recharge! I believe breakfast is the most important meal of the day as it prepares me for a busy day ahead while sustaining my energy levels throughout the day. I usually play some iPad games too while having breakfast before taking on the challenges of the day.
My top movie recommendation
I would recommend ‘The Curious Case of Benjamin Button’ movie to everyone. When I first watched it, I thought the plot was so unique and original. This film reaffirms many life lessons that we all need reminding of from time to time. Personally, my top three lessons are:
Credit Guarantee Corporation Malaysia Berhad
Credit Guarantee Corporation Malaysia Berhad
Credit Guarantee Corporation Malaysia Berhad
Credit Guarantee Corporation Malaysia Berhad
Credit Guarantee Corporation Malaysia Berhad
It’s true when they say that every day is a learning opportunity…
