Q: Big4 - Yearly salary increment

Looking at comments here, accounting and auditing industry still stuck in boomer mindset or think still living in 2000s

Look at tech industry, their benefits, and their wages

Ppl already move on (every fresh grad from now on is 2000+ DOB) but company wageslaves still stuck in old mindset

Ironic when these company go to every client and champion for change

Don’t think the majority of 2000 kids graduated.

Guys usually graduate around 24, girls around 22.

Cannot compare tech and accounting la. Tech is a AAA/A course leh. You should compare tech graduates against medicine and law instead.

Boomer partners are still stuck in the 1990s. Pay $3k starting and have to OT for almost 4-5 months of the year. Who is so stupid to join? Civil service starting now 3.7k and got work life balance.

This is why no local graduates want to join big 4. They might as well outsource the whole audit dept to Malaysia big 4

I am surprised got stupid people willing to sacrifice their health for their career. That guy must be brainwashed by his partner

Would you rather make millions but die at 60s or be average income and die at 90s

Then 9gag comments always people choose blue button willing to make more money and die young

But I think Gen Z doesn’t feel the same way

because Gen Z never thought of how expensive healthcare and property prices! nothing wrong to slog more to reach managerial level and above. Better to get treated in mount Elizabeth than in sgh right?

Stupidity & intelligence is open to debate and oftentimes subjective.

The point is audit is a low barrier , low prestige sector. Look at how many private degree holders with random qualifications and Malaysians B4 takes in every year.

Back in the late 80s early 90s, yes , parents will tell their kids to go into audit for a stable and so-called respectable career. But that was nearly 30 years ago.

Audit today is is simply not an attractive sector that the cream of your local unis will want to go into, let alone grads from high ranked US or UK universities. It has the reputation for low pay, long hours and unintellectually stimulating process-driven work.

Worse still, they string new entrants along with the prospects of "making partner" as though its the honey pot at the end of the rainbow. The prospects of making partner is realistically about as good as getting into a top IB PE or FAANG if one puts in the same amount of effort.

Only the average and mediocre grads will choose audit. Why would the better grads not choose banking tech consulting or some other more attractive sector?

Erm yes, I am an average or slightly above mediocre grad. So your long post is just to suan us is it? Lol the answer to your question is obviously I cannot get in right? Might as well ask why I never go study medicine or law.

We never claimed to be attractive or prestigious what, we are just here to earn a living.

Thanks Captain Obvious.

If you have better options, of course go for them lah.

Might as well go ITE thread and ask them why they never choose JC instead zzz
