U wan ppl respect u auditor then be clear la. Just sat need locals for the quota so u can hire ft more.

Wtf are you talking about lol the industry is already full of these people.

Siao eh. I am your audit manager.

Don't want to stay with me never mind lah.

Why need to come forum and share this story?

Hi, we are getting more to come in if the local 20s are not joining our audit industry.

Hi limpeh, when is your last day?

Why he need you to extend?

How you reject him?

I am also serving my notice too.

My manager also keep asking me to extend.

how so? what requirement increased?

Even bus drivers get more respect now with 5k base pay, truly a case study on how to attract talent. Same in the US with UPS drivers getting 100k.

Actually why not? There's lots of lifers in AP AR who are happy with 3k pay and are decent in what they do. Caveat is need good WLB otherwise it's just a 9-6 job with 1.5k pay where you OT to hit 3k.

Question is why must audit have high turnover? Why must have no WLB?

I am an audit manager in big4. I feel very sad there is no young people in 20s join us. End up we are the one who suffered.

Been reading this thread for a very long time. But I'm not from Big4 or even finance related industry.

It seems like some industries have this situation?

- Boomers and old Gen X promoting fast in the past and now occupying higher positions
- Boomers and old Gen X cannot promote any higher, refuse to resign or budge and choose to coast in their current position
- Work gets thrown down to new hires to fulfill KPI of higher positions
- Starting salary and progressive increments not keeping up with inflation
- Promotion of new hires getting delayed and slowed down
- Waves of resignations occurring only at the lower positions (those with 10 YOE or less) while the higher positions keep remaining the same
- Fewer and fewer headcount at the lower positions (to save labour cost), causing overwork for the remaining youngsters and a continuous death spiral of resignations
