I was in a Big 4 (orange firm) up till Feb 2021 so I'm very confident of the info I provided.

So long as you don't screw up and willing to put in the long hours, an average performer will be able to reach manager rank by the 5th year. First year manager in audit = S$6K base pay per month.

I left in Feb this year (after 3 years+ in audit) because I couldn't tank the long hours and got a better offer elsewhere. But the reality is one CAN become manager within 5 years and many have done so. No doubt there are some people who retained (mostly the Malaysians) because they aren't willing to put in the hours / technically weak. But on average, most can do so within 5 years.
