3yrs experienced senior associates in Big4 are drawing 5-6k, with 3yrs experience, they tried applying for commercial roles asking for a further 10% increment, which is approximately mid 6ks. This is on top of the fact that they put 14-16hrs workday in big4 but only expected to put in 8hrs workday in commercial, with occasional OT due to month-end closing or other deadlines. Essentially, if you do the math, they are going for a 2x in terms of salary (per hour) because of higher salary (10% increment) and shorter working hours (40% reduction) And no commercial company in their right sense of mind will pay 6k++ for someone with 3years experience, do not know how to use ERP system, and cannot work like a workhorse. Want to coast a 40hr workweek "work-life balance" |

I think this is trolling, but if its real, I'll bite. You do realize this is survivorship bias right? You're probably 1 out of 50 of your batch who made it to partner. You were in contention for the spot, because the other 49 people dropped out along the way. Think about it. If everyone in your batch had been determined to stay on until partner to "see the lucrative gains" that you promise, will that magically increase the business case for your firm to promote all 50 of you as partners? No, not one bit. The firm would still have to find ways to kick the other 49 out, or make them leave. There is only enough slots for X number of partners. Big4 is based on a pyramid structure, like the SAF. All regular officers hope to reach Colonel and Brigadier General, but the majority will be forced out or forced to hentak kaki because there are only so many slots. So your advice is literally worthless and totally backward looking. It has zero forward looking value. |

For accounting, at the same pay, you work half the hours and have much more exit options. For everything else, you OT less than auditors but your pay still higher. Heck even for Big 4 deals, we don't meet "corporate targets" while audit does but our bonus is still fatter than yours because our base is higher. We also get catered events while you get DIY food events. And our exit options after 3 years is fantastic because our skills are actually useful unlike audit. There is a reason why we can continuously get first/upper second class talents from top schools while audit have to resort to hiring from cmi schools (sorry, your partners call it "diversity" in candidates but we all know why). So proud of my uni alumni for advising current students against joining audit. Need to open up their eyes or they'd be conned by Big 4 marketing department and their fantastical 20% (it's only 10% after 4 years. Why not join advisory straight and you get that extra 10% right off the bat, no cramming while OTing needed). Everytime I hear some bright top uni student say they wanna join audit to learn about businesses I will tell them there are other options where you can actually do so. Just don't join chinaman SME firms. I don't know why these clown partners always say if you don't go big 4 audit you'll be left with nothing but chinaman SME firms. |
which firm 5.5k? we only get 5.3k here
