I am going to grad soon and applying for big 4. I heard that yellow firm culture is bad, is it true?

Hi how much were you drawing as an SM? Forum posts suggest it should be 8-9k

Can't speak for audit. Consulting wasn't really good a few years back, but much better now.

Lets just say it's at the higher end of the range you quoted.

Thank you. As a fellow associate, mind sharing how many years you were an M before promoted to SM? Thanks!

I’m not in any of the Big4 but am interested to join.

Which one has the highest salary offer?

Morale very low now.

morale improve after boosted increment?

increment is not out yet.... tbh with so much work now.. need more people to tank.

How long does it take to reach 100K pa in big4?

Haha with the amount of work and high resignations, do you think the morale can be boosted so easily? They have to make early announcement on the increment news if not there are really no one left. Expect another big wave of resignations after bonus and things will get even worse.

If you have a choice, dont join big 4, especially EY. With the stricter regulations and tight margins, things are getting worse by the day. There are no aws, no weekends-need to work to clear workloads and study sqp, no culture-most homegrown seniors/managers have already left, and unappreciative partners who are turning a deaf ear to the staff suffering, you need to seriously consider whether you really want to join them. The wage and career progression are not as good as its heydays.
