Big 4 experience can definitely stand to you.. however, dismissal for failing exams doesn't look so good. There is a lot of competition for accounting jobs even among big 4 qualified staff.

You will likely have some exemptions from ACCA but the exams aren't particularly easy.. if you failed chartered do you really think you'll have more luck with ACCA?
