Young kid, in case you don’t know, assurance is essentially a client facing role. At managerial level, you are managing different accounts with all the unreasonable clients and partners. A person with the behaviours of an outcast, even if he is a hard worker, wont be able to survive past m1 simply because he lack the social skills. In fact, i dare say most of the audit managers have high eq as compared to the management you saw on the client side.

We do discuss the performance of the staff during admin meeting which we will only share with the affected staff but we do not discuss the specific salary range even though HR do attend our admin meeting. You need to appreciate the fact that salary matters are really P&C.
