Q: Big4 - Yearly salary increment

Yo guys, what are the accurate figures for KPMG auditor pay? For M-SM given the 20% increment. Is the increment applicable to all positions as long as CA passed?

What do you mean negotiate? Doesn’t B4 have fixed predetermined salary bands?

At most you can nego within the band but it’s really narrow.

Every other year…. Can’t just be random right?

2015 - NTU Top Scorer in Business AND Accountancy - started in KPMG.

This is just my personal observation and I have no statistic or evidence to back this up. It’s really subjective anyway - From speaking with friends, B4 doesn’t seem as attractive or appealing a starting choice for a career in 2021 as compared to 2013.

Is this because of the rise of other sectors such as Tech, or are Banks management associate programmes higher in remuneration, or just the idea that you need to put in hard work in earlier years to learn the ropes not desirable to fresh graduates?

Or perhaps the introduction of the Singapore Chartered Accountant Qualification, as compared to the previous 5 days Pre-Admission Course to become a Chartered Accountant also a factor?

Why Top Scorer started in KPMG? Why not PwC?

I thought PwC has the best culture?

You ask me I ask who… lol.

But I think the NTU Accountancy 2021 top scorer went to EY according to LinkedIn which may or may not be a reliable source.
