It took me 8 years to achieve where I am today, additional few more years to become audit partner. Outside of big 4, you will not be able to achieve such a linear career progression and easily get stuck/outsourced or possibly retrenched. Look at all the global banks and tech firms they have been cutting headcount and all but big 4 audit is iron rice bowl. Suggest fresh grad to stick it out the grind and stay at least 8 yrs to get ahead of your peers
