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.



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.
agree that 2.5k for GT is quite good.. But if you are more keen on the big4 offers, just keep on trying for them. I'd probably join GT and keep applying to big 4. Big 4 also offering about 2.7-2.8k nia. Not much diff in salary there if u were to compare.
