Blue fresh grads get 3.6k + 1 month variable bonus (based on partner that's our new norm now, not 2 months). So yes that bump to 3.6k is taken from your bonus.

8k is the new 6k, even CPF ceiling is rising to 8k by 2026. It was last adjusted from 5k to 6k in 2016.

8000 / 6000 = 1.33

33% sounds about right for 10 years of compounded inflation.

Im happy b4 clowns can do basic math now. U are crazy to join audit in 2024( if u local). Ur annual income is dated back to 10 years ago or even worst ( due to rising interest rate).

DONT be poor and 2pid. Its ok to be just 1 lol.

Lol

I joined big4 and i noticed my colleagues are so happy that I can share their burden and tank the workload together

My audit senior today last day

He got 4 audit jobs on hand

My colleagues were discussing last week who will take over his cases

Lol

Wonder who will tank his cases

Lol

My other colleagues is asking me whether I tender my resignation

They worried I resign

First time?

Last year I also worry like you. Like people gone, short-staff, how to finish?

But I remember my senior manager just smile at me, say he see this for 10 years already.

End of the day, the firm is huge machine that isn't going to stop because of 1 person.

Realistically, if its a non-listed co, and the timeline can be managed, they will push back the date.

If cannot be pushed back, depends either the existing staff will just tank more work, or the manager will "borrow" people from other less urgent cases to come fire fight.

At that point in time it will sound like fire, but 1 year later you look back, everything solved. Nobody died, life goes on.

This year seem different

Everyone seem like more self-centered now

Repeat after me : We are family.

Thats right, nothing new. This job got do no do. Do 8hr a day or 16hr a day no diff. U all just stressed for nth. Just relax and clock ur time. Stay to promote. :)
