Interesting write up. As you go further up, you begin to see things in a different light. You think nothing of the skyscrapers or the three course lunch. All you see are your goals, deliverables and targets. Hmnnnnn, it becomes very hot from then on... Enjoy your early days...very well deserved but trust me, the euphoria doesn't last for too long 21 Likes |

You don't have to be a genius to work at KPMG, you just have to be enlightened. I've also done some temp. work for KPMG and they are fantastic! The company I work for presently hires temp. from KPMG all the time to fill some of our technical needs and most time these temps are just normal professionals trained properly. Our problem in Nigeria is that the universities are still using syllabus from 1970s and refuse to expose undergraduates to real world applications and/or technologies. 9 Likes 1 Share |

With all due respect, there's a plethora of the so-called geniuses working all over Nigeria. Go to BAT, P&G, RECKITT, UNILEVER not mentioning the variety of local and foreign oil and gas firms. I wouldn't refer to them as geniuses rather as highly driven, highly motivated, goal seeking agents. Its a dog eat dog world out there in the corporate environment and everyone has to position himself at an advantage. They are very intelligent but not geniuses. Besides whoever said intelligence was a yardstick for success 15 Likes 1 Share |

Thank OP for beautifully telling your nice story. Unfortunately WE do too little about TAX thereby making our country so BACKWARD despite its huge potentials. Very sad! Very pathetic!!! |

juddexy2: How has this erased the 'contract staff syndrome' I heard they have introduced too? Imagine a multinational company with strong reputation like this giving room for aberration like that which cannot be practiced in other countries.

I can relate to this. Save a brief, few months stint at an investment institution, I have had all my career in the oil and gas industry, but I always advise younger folks who want to get the best training in taxation, accounting, auditing, etc to go and start their career in any of the Big 4 (PwC, KPMG, Deloitte and Ernst & Young). These are the best training ground anyone can seek. I remember when I was having a post-interview chat with the COO of an oil company shortly after my NYSC in 2008, she, herself an accountant, asked me why I wanted to start my accounting with them, and not with these Big 4 professional services firms. I kept mute, smiling. Actually, I was undergoing KPMG recruitment at the same time (dumped it for the oil company, which offer came faster). I know virtually everyone in the tax department of KPMG and I think these guys are good professionals. It is no doubt a great training ground. I personally rate PwC #1 in Nigeria, but I think these guys are doing very well. 17 Likes 2 Shares |

KPMG is just the replica of schlumberger for engineers. If you are not a first class graduate, the chance of getting a job in those two coys is very slim indeed. 1 Like 2 Shares |

In the world where mediocres are millionaires. KPMG is doing a lot for the learned but our educational system is somewhat our demise if we let it. I don't apply sotay I don't begin deyblose hope and not only to kpmg alone. Sometimes this employers forget not all first class can be defended. I for one read for my 2.2 but alas no job. But life has proven I can be anything I wanna be so I am on a sojourn of self improvement and realization. KPMG can keep their job but when I start hiring graduates we'd be on the same level. To everyone who graduated less than a first class I want u to never give up hope. You didn't study Engineering, Law, Medicine...companies won't hire you cuz of that just make sure u know what u want out of life. Never lay on ur bed defeated. People have been in ur situation and never gave up. All these companies want us to have stellar certificates and experience but we got little money for that. They would never understand. God bless 17 Likes 1 Share |

Interesting topic. But my own take still remains....if u r lucky enuff and academically good enuff to find a place in those top companies, good for u but if not, all hopes is not....with individual zeal and luck, u can be way more successful than the guys that initially have d opportunity to start off with those gr8 companies. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

The major reason why I am eagerly putting these lines carefully is to wake up some of us in the Eastern part of Nigeria, especially those in University of Nigeria. There are lots of opportunities out here. One of the devastating lies I learnt in the school is that there is no job anywhere. Some of our lectures buried us in mediocrity (with due respect). I was pained one day when I shared with a colleague in the office how some of my school guys dream to work in a places like this and do you know what he asked me? “Do people in your school know about us?” It was an innocent and subtle question but he didn’t know I was boiling inside of me already. This write up is resultant from that response. They have the notion that we are not exposed This was actually what propelled me to float my career blog, JarusHub, in 2013, and wrote my book, The Road to Victoria Island. Lack of access to information is the bane of many Nigerian students and fresh graduates. 12 Likes |

Come on, it's just KPMG. Here in UNILAG we're doing Goldman Sachs and Merrill Lynch internships in London and New York. Anyway, coming from the coal hinterlands, I must say KPMG might seem quite a (in Donald Trump's voice) HUGE change. 11 Likes 1 Share |
