[QUOTE=Unregistered;63463]It depends on which Big 4 you are going to... if you're talking about the 3 lettered one, wow 10.6k for AD3 is kinda low considering the top grade SM (SM3/4, I forgot which) earns close to 10k. So only 600+ increment for 3 years of AD?

Don't forget to factor in the poor bonuses in Big 4... 2-3 months may be the norm there, that's including 13th month.[/QUOTEA couple of misconceptions here.
1) PWC (& I think the other 3 as wee) does not pay AWS. So what you get in bonus is all variable.
2) You cant compare the max of a SM with the min of a AD. You can only compare mid/average against mid/average. It is normal for the max of the grade before to be higher than the min of the next grade. In some levels the max of the lower grade might even be higher than the mid of the higher grade.
