Q: Big4 - Yearly salary increment

How much bonus do you get if you receive poor performance or even a PIP? 0.5 months?

I have an inkling which dept OP is from because the mass resignation caused the average portfolio at one time for each manager to double. The biggest issue right now is actually the lack of staff to even complete the work. Interns are slow, do not OT and need to go back to classes on some days. A1s are no better despite being full time. Their motivation also completely nosedived because every senior and manager were resigning in Dec and Jan in front of their eyes, compared to last time when they left during their training/chill season.

That's why the managers in their 30s or 40s (born in 1980s and 1970s) are relying on the young blood new staff to complete the job.

All the 30s managers are really hoping the fresh perspectives and tech-savvy skills of the younger team members can inject some new life into the audit arm and help navigate through these challenging times.

No one here is from big 4 thats for sure
all clueless


Dont weak lah auditors. just ot and get it done. now so easy. with not much people quitting.

Big 4 attrition rate dropped to a new low of 25% only, almost half of usual so why all the cries about understaffing? Man up you wimps, understaffed my foot

Why didn't the managers sound off to the partners and recruitment team for the lack of audit staff?

TLDR : audit as low attrition rates. aka sufficient staffing + reduced workload due to lost clients

What is OT? everyone goes home on time
