Imagine u are a seasoned accountant staying in the industry for 10 years and one random Ntu graduate in KPMG audit come and ask u abt a list of qn. You be sure annoyed cos he knows nth abt what he is asking and what u gonna answer
Sck it up and grind the years to know what u are actly doing. Or change a job that requires more brain cells

To be fair there are many jobs at the junior level that are quite process-driven and don't require high level thinking. But they can afford to pay higher because margins are higher. Audit profit margins are really low.
Overall, Big4 has huge revenues due to scale and volume, but profit per engagement is thin. And it's rather labour intensive. At least until there's greater automation penetration into the industry, but that means many laojiaos will be out of a job, and most audit grads would not find jobs.
So intellectual intensity at the junior lvls don't correlate with pay. Many sales related jobs are quite brainless too but profit margins are very high. |
