Before Thrivre

Starting her career as an Audit Associate at PwC was a dream come true for Kwang — great salary and benefits for a first jobber. Then, due to personal reasons, she had to go back home and find work there after 1 year as an auditor, in which she quickly landed her next role as a Financial Analyst & Audit Lead at a small local accounting firm.

Although the compensation was not that great compared to her previous job, her deep skill set was highly utilised, spanning her responsibilities far beyond what had been initially discussed.

She quickly became the high-performer with the responsibility of a Chief Operating Officer (COO) who helped the CEO executed variouse things, ranging from project management to client-facing coordination and creating new working standards to solving issues no one else could handle.

While she could do it, something didn’t sit right.

The workload no longer aligned with the salary. The effort no longer felt worth the mental trade-off.

Her hard skills weren’t expanding as they should have, as the work started to feel repetitive. To make things worse, the management’s vision didn’t resonate with her at all.

She knew one thing for sure: staying would mean regressing in her career.

“With my potential, I could do it — but if it doesn’t align with the compensation or even my career goals, I started questioning why I should keep pushing myself.”

What She Was Trying to Achieve

Kwang didn’t want to be just an Auditor. She wanted to use her strong accounting and auditing foundation to apply for finance, so she could make an impact on the future of business, not just get stuck with compliance.

However, the hardest part wasn’t deciding to move — it was figuring out how.

“What felt hardest was making my resume truly reflect my real potential — making one piece of paper represent who I actually am, in an impactful way.”

She knew she had more to offer, but just didn’t know how to translate that into a compelling story for hiring managers to buy in.

That’s when she decided to work with Thrivre.

What Changed with Thrivre

Through Thrivre’s Career Design Sessions (Career Diagnostics, Career Drivers Assessment, and Industry Matchmaker), Kwang was able to step back and see the bigger picture, especially where her background could be leveraged outside of audit.

Then came the execution through Thrivre’s Get Hired Kit (Resume Writing, LinkedIn Writing, and Interview Coaching); her resume and LinkedIn profile were rebuilt to match what was expected from the financial side.

“Thrivre made my resume impactful enough that HR actually wanted to know me — it made me stand out from other candidates.”

However, the biggest turning point came during the Interview Coaching session.

It wasn’t just about memorising answers, but a blend of strategy, psychology, and reading the room, enabling her to position herself in real time.

“It wasn’t just about answering well — it was strategy and psychology, like playing a game with the interviewer.”

The Result

The outcome was immediate.

After completing all the services and starting to apply, Kwang was called back the very next day to be interviewed by the hiring managers. And through that interview, the hiring managers decided to skip 1 entire round of interviews and offer her the job within 1 week — they were completely convinced that she was the right match.

In less than 1 month, she successfully transitioned from Audit into Commercial Finance at Whitelabel Agency, where the role aligned with how she wanted to grow.

Not just landing a new job, her compensation increases 18% within 1 year.

“I was finally able to shift from audit to financial analyst work — and everything moved faster after that.”

Who This Is For

Kwang’s story is for people who are exhausted, not because they are weak, but because they have outgrown their environment.

It’s for those who don’t want to stay stuck with their career, who want something better, and who want to see the bigger picture clearly to be able to move forward with intention.
