Which sector? Lol 60 hours considered good already in yellow.
Depends on his portfolio also.

I lost count of the hours… usually it’s 6-7 days a week during heavy peak.

Less intense peak 5 days

Audit is one of the safest (potentially the fastest as well)route for acc grad to hit 100k Pa

What an odd way to characterize choosing careers.

Why is safety even an issue? Grads are not being asked to gamble their career or money away.

If a grad is bright and ambitious, they will easily go into other corporate or banking or finance tracks that allow them to easily hit 100k far faster and with lower working hrs, than Big4.

It's not an issue of safety vs risk. It's a difference between the lazy + unambitious grad vs the hungry + ambitious grad. Audit attracts the former type of grads, that want to walk into a job without much competition or effort (because barriers to entry are so low). The latter type of grads will avoid Big4 altogether because they know they can earn so much more elsewhere, and are not afraid of competing to prove themselves.

no point arguing with ppl who see audit as their holy grail to get hit10k per month.... just have to look at the credentials of an average auditor (SIM, internships all done in accting firms, no ability to network). is quite true that audit as a professional suits most ppl who can only memorise books and get mediocre grades

Not OP. Are you paid more for working more than your peers of the same rank ?
