Q: Big4 - Yearly salary increment

And if you think audit seniors are bad wait till you see investment banking seniors. 16 hours days, weekends, at beck and call, toxic abusive people, all these are the norm. You add up all the hours, weekend lost, lost relationship due to work, abuse etc, the pay is probably less than mcdonalds worker.

With 200k-300k savings they'll be fine... At least they can go open a cafe or startup with a great backstory.

Ya lor. All those ex corporate workers who open cafe, bakery or restaurant featured in the news always say they're ex-banker or ex-lawyer. nobody ever says ex-auditor lmao

I got my PA licence

Any big4 don't dare to sign high risk cases, let me know

I can sign for you

Let me take over portfolio

Do yall really think is wise to move from Big 4 auditor (Front office role) to a Commercial accounting (Back office role)? I don’t think so because front office > back office

In big 4, auditors are generally considered front office because they are revenue generating but commercial accountants are not revenue generating thus back office

You're joking right? Knn you 1st or second year junior you think can save $200k-$300k in 2 years? Don't kid yourself la. Bonus are nowhere near the astronomical sum these past 3 years after covid. Most are lucky to have their job. Besides, these people spend like crazy too.

That's totally missing the point.

The point is even an ex auditor who sets up a restaurant or cafe or bakery will not be introduced as an ex auditor, because auditors get zero respect or prestige from the general public.

So what's your point? That you spend your life trying to do things that get you respect from general public? What makes you think general even give 2 hoots about your proffession?

Lol at such betas trying hard to do live up to "gerenal public's perception".
