salary for second year senior associate in Big 4

Some 5 years ago, Big 4 paid around 5.5k for 1st year mgr. Not sure how much impact inflation has since. What about internal audit managers in Big 4? how much do they pay now for someone with more than say 8yrs exp?

What's the market rate salary for fresh grads who is going into tax services in one of the big four?

If i want to venture into tax services, which big 4 firms would be good? any experienced people out there who could advice? thanks so much!

Ignore the following if you think this is anything else other than just well-meaning thoughts: Seriously, what's a few hundred dollar differences (or thousands per annum) if you are competent enough to contemplate career choices between professional or financial services (such as accounting, tax, banking or consulting) or executive civil service positions (such as with the ministries or statutory boards).

Some scales start low and go up fast (big 4) to compensate after hurdling the learning curve and long hours while others start high (commercial banking or civil service), but with generally more comfortable working hours. Just find what you enjoy (or at least don't hate doing) and each route should eventually have their own payoff period / day in the sun.

Always had difficulty understanding the narrow mindedness of deloitte vs ey or dbs vs ocbc or merrill vs goldman .. bcg vs bain ..mti vs mof... Seriously dudes..

Probably just 2k to 2.5k....

Hi all,

Reading from previous posts.. salary for senior tax associates in big 4s ranged from SGD 4k-4.4k but that was in 2010... any revised range of salary now, in 2012? Is it OK to put 4.5k expected salary having 3+ years of experience in tax?

It seems like KPMG pays higher salary than the others... any comments?

Hope u guys can help. Thanks!
