Q: Big4 - Yearly salary increment

Not sure if it is similar

background: not-so-fresh grad from overseas uni, took 1 year off and came back because of major illness, but did not share with recruiter

Glassdoor says about 4.5k for similar roles across big 4, but not sure about the seniority levels, any input is appreciated!

Do u have any other decent offers in hand? If yes then maybe don’t consider this. 1st of all seems like they are lowballing u as u mentioned u are not fresh grad but offered lower than fresh grad pay. 2nd is been on the news recently that IT/risk audit departments are forced to go on NPL / fired due to low client demand . Also don’t think exit opportunities are great for this service line

hahaha am technically still a "fresh grad" because have not worked since I graduated, so i would expect fresh grad pay

honestly right now got no better offers, for past few months been applying, probably over 300+ applications, no interviews, suspect due to the "gap" in between my graduation and today, or possibly because I didn't finish my honours year

quite sian because i know its a lowball, but I also got no other options right now so am seriously considering taking it up if i am "lucky" enough to get it, furthermore in this case I haven't even been offered the job yet, I probably still have at least one follow up interview (if they even want me lol, recruiter say will pass resume upwards)

regarding 2) from what I saw online I saw that people said that there is potential in this line of work, which made me sort of optimistic but people like yall here probably know better

tbh this would not be my first choice of role as well eventually IF i get this role, I am hoping to transition out elsewhere with somewhere that suits my interests more, more of biz analyst/development

thanks lots for your 2cents!
