This is just subjective self-praise that means nothing. Whatever fancy reason you might think of, the fact remains that you only have DL degree and failed to enter the big4 as admitted earlier. This is a fact that you need to face, not come up with self serving excuses that you are actually local uni smartness but just lazy.

I am very realistic and I don't expect to be earning 3-4k and breaking into the banking industry. How internal audit is a niche area, and there aren't that many people who can use the data analysis software that I can use. However, I can't speak mandarin and that's a major disadvantage as companies have operations in china.

This is yet another excuse to justify your worth. Not sure why you bringing your supposed specialised niche computer data skills into the picture, the fact is the big4 are not interested and apparently Grant Thornton didn't think too highly of that either.
As for people not hiring you because they have operations in China and you don't know Chinese, I think this is another one of the self-serving excuses used to lessen the pain and increase self worth. The fact that so many non-Chinese serve as audtiors is proof that this is not true.

Your words are a powerful tool, you can either make someone feel utterly horrible or you could offer constructive advice. Please reflect upon that the next time you write something down

People are already offering constructive advice, i.e. 2.5k is good so take up the Grant Thornton role to build up your CV since you cannot compete effectively with your stronger peers currently. You obviously have a much higher opinion of yourself and listed many justifications to explain your current predicament like how smart you are, special data skills, disadvantaged becasue of Chinese etc.
Main thing is are you here to hear people's opinion or you just want people to cheer lead you? 2.5k is pretty much the norm for DL degrees, other than the big4 which you fail to make the cut, the only other alternative is RSM Chio Lim which also pay around there for freshies. I doubt the other
mom & pop outfits can even match 2.5k.
