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.
Given that an average SM reaches close to 10k before being promoted to AD1, AD3 at 10.6k is slightly low. SM to AD3 is 3 years of promotion and 10.6k implies only about $300 plus per promotion which is slightly below the norm. A SM who stays in the big 4 and gets promoted to AD3 will probably be drawing closer to 12k

A simple scale for first 5 years is:
A1 - 2700
A2 - 3100
SA1 - 3500
SA2 - 4500
AM - 5100

We're talking about 400-500 increment each time you are promoted. This is big 4 and not civil service where we have overlapping salary ranges and someone at MX11 can be paid more than someone at MX10.
