Companies are very clever nowadays. So they hype up on soft things like that so that they can get away with paying these people lousy wages. That is how Big 4 has been able to get away with paying their auditors and associates peanuts and milk them like a cow for long hours.

Many are still fooled and are staying on for long term. Friends shared with me that upon leaving Big 4 their salary has gone up by 25%-50% after 1 year. Their colleagues are still toiling on inside thinking Big 4 is the best.
Nowadays they no longer meet up as by the time they are done with work, my friends are already home and finished eating dinner. When meeting old time friends, those in Big 4 always come after dinner is over and the group has moved on to a new place for drinks. They will have to settle their own dinner by tabaoing something along or eating snacks at the
pub. Of course, nobody ever expects them to treat drinks on their meagre salary...
