Q: Big4 - Yearly salary increment

That seems like a good career. After five years, a accounting graduate is able to earn between $90k to $110? Or more? Is it normal for everyone?

After 5 years in Big 4, it should be around 80-95k (assuming with 2 months bonus) as some may still be at AM level. Once reached manager level, progression will start to slow down and you should be looking at around 4-6k increase yearly in your annual salary.

I'm not too sure whether it should be regarded as a good career as the stress level there is higher too.

I'm genuinely not trolling. Just seriously wanted to know. As I am not sure what's the market at. And also I was putting it side by side to Accenture.

Sorry if it came across as trolling.

Good basic but terrible overall. You will know when you receive your 2 months bonus in July, which is inclusive of 13th month.

14 x 7k = 98k for a manager with minimum 7-8 years working experience. Pretty lowball.

Somewhat agree on the basic vs overall. As comparison, I'm currently M1 at boutique advisory. 7.5K with 7-8 months bonus. Its slightly abnormal year because I managed to work my arse and close a few deals. On the flip side, my manager colleague got demoted to associate. Lol, go figure.

In the big companies, salaries offered by them is a joke. Like what the above mentioned.
Have to work like a slave
One leg kick
Definitely not worth it to work with them
