Employment Opportunity |  |\n| --- | --- |\n| Cases Participants | Statements |\n\n\n| Case 2 | P4\u003Cbr>P5 | It was because they were hiring. It was in the public sector. I first started in an audit firm.\u003Cbr>I decided to go with it since everything was paid for upfront (my schooling), no fees at all, and I liked it because it was one way for me to give back and show gratitude for being able to complete my education. |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| B. Career Development |  |  |\n| Case 1 | P1\u003Cbr>P6 | For experience of course. That serves as a stepping stone for you to have another job that is much bigger.\u003Cbr>It's a starting point, to broaden your horizon. Don’t be too selective, start small and then just keep going. |\n| C. Personal Motivation |  |  |\n| Case 1 | P4 | I was curious about what an auditor actually does. It’s explained in class but it’s different when you are actually into it. That’s why I decided to go for it. And most of that peer pressure, it’s because most of the CPA graduates really go into public. Public accounting, auditing after graduation. So that was more or less my motivation. |\n| Case 2 | P5 | The only reason was because I was so carried by my belief, the gratitude that I had from the (institution) that has given me opportunities and chances. |\n|  | P3 | I was thinking of becoming a practitioner because basically that is my purpose. |\n| D. Work Incentives |  |  |\n| Case 1 | P1 | The public practice sometimes it's just for experience. Then one thing that is nice about auditing firms is that you can travel. |\n\n\n| A. Monetary Consideration |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Cases Participants |  | Statements |\n| P1 |  | Well the difference is the salary, compared to others, the auditing is small (salary) . |\n| Case 1 | P2 | It's about the salary and stability. In my previous workplace, we relied on student enrollment when it came to teaching, so it wasn’t that stable. And, of course, the pay was lower. Unlike in the government, where the salary isn’t that high, but the stability is there. You’re sure that at the end of the month, you'll get your salary because it doesn’t depend on enrollment. |\n|  | P6 | We want to earn a higher salary to uplift our lives. |\n| Case 2 | P4 | As for having my own business (bookkeeping), I really want to start one, especially when you become accountants, our earnings are really limited, especially for those who teach; there’s hardly any income. |\n| B. Personal Life Fulfillment |  |  |\n| Case 1 | P6 | To uplift our lives, like wanting to have a car. |\n| C. Mental Strain from Previous Work Environment |  |  |\n| Case 2 | P4 | In public accounting, there’s a lot of pressure on you. In private accounting, it’s a bit more relaxed. That’s why the desire to experience other sectors is really unavoidable. |\n|  | P5 | I enjoyed exercising my profession, but I found out that it's really hard to teach, because I don’t have patience with the students. |\n\n\n| A. Student Management Difficulties |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Cases Participants |  | Statements |\n| Case 1 | P1 | I really only got turned off with Zoom when teaching shifted online, so I couldn’t really assess the students properly especially when there were instances that they would say 'Ma'am, your signal is really slow.' |\n| Case 2 | P3 | There was only one time when I got really mad at my student. It was something like there was an examination, a simultaneous examination, and they had to study for one of their subjects, so they missed my class. I said,'Where are my students? They didn’t show up!' That was it.\u003Cbr>In DBP, of course, there are students who need to practice, you have to teach them first. Then there was one student where it took a long time because they didn’t know the sequence of the alphabet. |\n| B. Heavy Workload |  |  |\n|  | P2 | The transactions are very different in government versus in private. My role is different, so from education or academe background to actual accounting work, it’s really different.
