If you have that little dose of common sense you would know that there wont be any managers tendering if they are having it good.

“I dont mind doing stuff that is within my grade”-the fieldwork is precisely what you should be doing, not the managers, unless it is high risk areas in listed Cos.

So naive of you to say you will help out when you havent reach that stage.

Dude of course I know fieldwork is our responsibility. I was referring to adhoc tasks that managers are assigned to do but they chose to throw it to their seniors to do it without guidance, such as audit proposals to bid for potential engagements or even admin stuff that their partners have tasked the managers to do it personally.

Of course I will do it. Dude if you are paid 10k you are expected to do responsibility that is worth 10k and that’s common sense LOL

Got time jjww on online forum, maybe think abt how u manage junior staffs and engagements allocated under u, cos u got that 5 figure salary for managing these well. If u ask the seniors not to complain abt fieldwork, maybe u should stop complaining abt having to tahan with overseeing multiple engagements too. Both are our job scopes right?

So far hardly anyone complain on this thread cos of doing fieldwork right? If they do just mean that they don’t like this industry and work, and nothing against the SM. But right now all off is are discussing mg : why is there a clear distinction between some SM we want work for and work with vs someone who is tras*h?

I think the answer is quite obvious by how u phrase your comments “naive”,”little common sense “ blah blah, seem like a toxic SM under your natural habitat of phrasing anything in a way that is being paggro AF

Oof and Ofc we are back to the “you are strawberries who can’t take genuine comments” and “I’m not paid to be your teacher /nice “arguments; u have reached an age and seniority level whereby any feedbacks given were not taken seriously, rather u made sweeping statements abt ppl being lazy/incompetent

You are just a toxic person. And the reason why big 4 are toxic is because ppl like this stay for 20 years and made partner (or u may not )

And you need to be daring enough to get the seniors to present in meetings. Cause there are too many idiotic seniors like you who anyhow answer and got pwned by partners’ baiting questions.

Dont xian la.. go seminar how many M/SM always ask dumb questions. Not all of them good in technical.

How old is your SM?
After SM is director?

SM pay is between 9 to 15k depending on YOE and engagement portfolio. Typical if you are a male you should be hitting SM at age 33 or 34.

Yes after SM is director, but being a director indirectly means that you can’t be a partner anymore.

Zai ppl in my team leave immediately after hitting 5 years and promoted to M

Those that stay on long either die hard want to be partner (lmao) or just too cui to make the cut for a finance manager role in a good MNC, so they suck thumb continue work in big 4 as the salary is acceptable in big 4 once M and they have good maternity benefits (that’s why a lot of female mgr stay)
