Nothing is guaranteed in life. Are kids these days really expecting guaranteed promotions and increments? Gosh.

Except, of course, death and taxes.

You mean boomers?

Kids don't join big 4, they know its trash :( :( :(

Young kid do you how long is 9 years in big 4. As someone who left big 4 after 8 years, i can tell you that almost all the top performers from local uni in each batch will leave after 5-8 years. What are left at the managerial levels are the people with no exit options, work permit holders and the mid joiners. And these SMs are lucky that they survived their earlier years due to their 5-days course and larger engagement teams.

The associates nowadays get slaughtered with sqp and no proper guidance from the top. Alot left not because of the instant gratification that they get from other career. It is simply because the workplace is simply inhumane. You will find out in a while. No need 9 years, just a few years and you will be out and you come here talk again.

It's not like ex auditors do super well in the late game either. You think everyone can become CFO at banks/MNCs meh?

On average you'd be a financial controller or finance manager at some company. Ok, you make 10-15k base a month, that's comfortable but it won't make you rich. What's the big deal?

You quoted wrong guy. Im giving the young kid with only 6 years experience another 9 years to catch up to me.

It’s up to the individual to judge whether the late game you described is worth the early game struggle. Especially when you are working late in office, and your phone buzzes to show you photos of your friends enjoying a nights out with drinks and hot chicks.

sacrificing your youth for all this doesnt seem very worth it to me... remember that we are only in our 20s and in the prime of our life once.....

Given how everyone mentioned that audit is a gloomy career, would being an insurance agent be a more viable career instead? Seeing so many ppl jumping into the insurance line of work and from all social media stories it seems that they are so successful

LOL insurance agent is the worse role u can ever get as a Singaporean or even as a human being

literally a dumping ground for all the losers, drop outs and trash degree holders who cant make it in their field. tell me, all these "social media stories", check their linkedin, i guarantee u, 9/10 wont have degree and plateaued at diploma level with some stupid irrelevant course

viable career my ass lmao literally dependent on people buying ur bullshet insurance. what a joke.

wait till u start getting msgs from "old" friends going

"hey long time no see! :) :) btw can we meet for a while?"
