As someone who only got a second upper gpa , I agree with what u said
My grade was not great and I didn’t try that hard to secure internships to get into an industry that I really interested in
Just follow every mediocre ntu accountancy and joined big 4
If I were given a second chance , I would definitely either study harder or try as many ways as possible to secure good internships at big name company, as a build up for my first job after graduate
Big 4 audit , admit it, is for people who have average grades and too lazy or stupiak to network and get themselves a good job elsewhere

And yes if u are average why should ppl you a high salary
