Fresh Grad Advice: Local Big 4 Strategy vs Hong Kong Transaction Banking

Anyone knows starting salary for Strategy&?

MBA associates start at 72K per annum (6,000 SGD/month)

Unfortunately, Strategy& does not hire undergrad associates for its Singapore office unless you’re from Wharton.

They do tons of experienced hires though.

Answer is totally inaccurate.

Fresh grad salary (they do hire a few fresh grads - you can check them on linkedin) at 6k+, on par with ATK and below OW. Fresh grads start off as Associates, MBA hires as Senior Associates. Post-MBA salary is >10k, with INSEAD as main target school.

Pretty big difference. Depends on what you want to do in your career.

If you hate baking, that 1.4k would be miserable for you since you'll always be thinking of what if, and you might leave for a lower salary.

Consulting gives you more options for the road.

There's also rent to worry about to. Tho living overseas is a huge plus.

It's all on you personally.

Should be tier 2. Friend in PwC management consulting arm told me they are given (significantly) different packages and have different career track. To the point many find unfair.

why is it unfair? audit and tax are brainless, menial tasks. consulting actually requires intelligence. it's like foreign workers vs foreign talents

I apologise, should have mentioned it more explicitly. He was talking about the significant difference in packages between S& and PwC Consulting, nothing to do with tax and audit.

I think it is unfair if you are doing similar work and someone sitting beside you is getting significantly more. Do you happen to know the difference in salary between s& and pwc consulting?
