And for audit as an industry, it is a dying industry. Think about it, companies are making decisions among the Big 4 based on pricing. Where else in the world can you sustain a business when your only value proposition is based on pricing. It is just a race to the bottom, which is unsustainable in the long run.

as a big 4 manager, although not in the assurance practice but I can assure you that you have correctly pointed out a fact that I have thought about and have discussed with my other manager colleagues. I too think that this business model is not sustainable in the long run.

HAHAHA true. Making 150k USD base here in Cali, not including 20% target bonus and ~30k per year USD RSUs.

LSE grad where art thou?

after much consideration, i decided to take up a job offer as a financial consultant. even though I am unable to work in an investment bank, the FC role will still teach me some investment skills so I can pivot my career moving forward. hope everyone stays optimistic!

Basically, i would call it insurance agent. Same as those people in bus interchange ask people do "survey" one. End up is ask them buy insurance.
