Q: Big4 - Yearly salary increment

Because all along audit, tax, and consulting have different pay grades.

Most of the time we are referring to audit, but it’s still better to be clear.

My bad, am referring to audit

2) Touch your heart, confirm you searched the MOM website before. But we are bloody not covered. The law doesn’t protect us, lmao.
3) Yeah, in recent years, the exit opportunities have been very good even after slogging for 3 years.
4) Enduring works if it’s for good prospects, but what if you are enduring for nothing? Going back to point 3.

3) Exit opps good in recent years??? Have you missed all the seniors who had to resign without a job since last year because they couldn't land a single job that didn't involve paycut??? If you have a lobang for me then I'll happily eat my words.

A single student has no bargaining power; but the collective power of Gen Z has made this happen.

So yea, change up the way things work or risk losing new blood.

Without fresh blood any industry also cannot sustain.

Did you compare yearly compensation? There's no change or just a decrease.

how big was the paycut?

Nobody cares about gen z boycotting audit lol

EY is currently doing a project where they are planning to hire lower qualified ppl to create a shared service to do lower level audit work like confirmations, vouching, recomputations,etc. basically all the work currently done by A1. Cause they know there is lesser and lesser supply of A1

They are targeting to hire ppl with lower qualifications so that they can be paid lower instead of paying A1 to do simple job.

This project called Cadet, short for Audit delivery team

Yes

Basically the Gen Z destroy the industry themselves

I guess ISCA and ACRA are begging the Big4 not to do that

Also in future there may be no internship opportunities
