Amber94, I was in the same boat once. Failed ny only professional paper P5 at 47 but passed it with 62 second time around. You need to get your answers evaluated. Attempt mock and email them to me. Happy to help.
First off, You are not a loser. You are a motivated individual who is worried about his future. You are trying to find a job which means you are struggling for a better future, it makes you an inspirational person who has kept going despite your difficulties. You can pass ACCA and you will when you put effort into it, read the article above and make a plan. Follow it and you shall hold the world in your hands. You can move mountains, dont settle for less. Goodluck to you my friend.
What I have gathered from people’s opinions who have worked in the firms is that they eventually want to join industry. Like I said, I have little to no interest in joining firms. Reason being, the firms exploit young professionals;paying them 5-6k, which is below even the minimum wage here in Pakistan. Secondly, I think working for a multinational outweighs the benefits you get in a firm, which are nothing but “experience”. This is a very vague concept which is used to exploit people in my opinion and I can’t afford to waste 3 years of my life getting 5k and then “hoping” I will get a placement in industry.
I do, however, agree that level of exposure is high in audit firms and for many people, that is the deal breaker.
