Why are they so bad in Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V?

My senior didn't teach me anything about Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V.

I found out myself. So easy. Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V in the audit working paper.

walao i damn salty. These lousy accounting grads anyhow go big4 also can get 4.5k????

i find so hard to get out of the industry and only paid 4.7k as fresh grad nia.

audit shud continue getting 3.6k coz yall nvr study harder.

It’s all about demand and supply.

Low demand for accounting courses, accounting courses cut off BCCC
Higher demand for audit associates, pay increases

You all need to work harder to justify the pay
