A top finance grad can work on DBS but it's better for him to work on GS

Same with big 4. Even though top grads will definitely excel in it, their full potential is wasted working in audit. Truth is, the effort to reward ratio for audit is just not worth it for the high flyers
If you’re a top accounting graduate (FCH, DL), then do seriously consider Big 4 - but you will be gunning for the top role unlike your peers.

To my knowledge from LinkedIn, since 2015, every other year (2015, 2017, 2019, 2021), I see a LKY Gold Medalist (top student) starting their career in Big 4. But these are not your average folk as described in the other post.
