in big 4, the salary scale is the same for maybe 90% of the staff across the departments. there are only a handful of "special" departments that pay slightly more than others.

pay scale
year 1 - associate 2.9k
year 2 - associate 3.3k
year 3 - senior associate 4.3k
year 4 - senior associate 4.8k
year 5 - assistant manager 5.3k
year 6 - manager 6.3k

typically year 1 to year 4 is called advancement, it is guaranteed promotion as long as you don't perform extremely poorly. 99.9% of fresh grads will make it to senior associate by year 4.

year 5 onwards depends on performance, team structure, etc. no more guarantee.

bonus - tao chio if you can get 2 months, inclusive of aws. that is the average bonus. poorer performers can expect as low as 1.5 months, good performers don't expect more than 3 months.

benefits - biggest benefit in big 4 is being able to take taxi to client place and claim. you will enjoy a good life cabbing everywhere. if your house is near client place, you may even be able to cab straight from home. a cushy life without needing to squeeze in mrt. there are some other benefits like lifestyle subsidy (200-300 bucks for you to spend on lifestyle things such as air tickets, hotel booking, gym membership, etc).

overall big 4 is a decent starting point but prepare for a frugal life while your peers are getting 50%-100% more pay in other companies. your payback comes only after 4-5 years of working, when you are now valuable and can jump to a mnc outside. even then, only expect about 20-30% increment from your then payscale.
any information regarding progressions for "special" departments? what are special anyway
