Nah big 4 consulting starts around 3.2-4k depending on which colour. For orange, no bonus for 1st year

How's the salary for the cybersecurity side of Big 4 consulting?

What's the pro of having big 4 in resume , the salary seems pathetic, people are staying because of the brand name and prestige?

The brand name good? Got prestige?

Pls la people who are staying, stayed because they cannot get a better role elsewhere. Then when asked why stay? They simply lie through their teeth to save face and say 'oh because i want to be partner next time'.

Not 100% correct. In b4 you run into two types of people: the first kind which the poster has described in the quote here, and the second who are in fact very capable but also have a very safe personality and like stability. This second type are usually the kind that make partner

Many MNCs would prefer candidates with big 4 experience. Look up accounting/finance roles in MNCs they usually state them in the job requirements.

PwC Consulting 4k in 2019, no bonus first year.. I was in P&O, which is like HR consulting. Not sure increased already or not.

Deals Strategy start at 4.5k, and Strategy& is around 6.3+. Agree with Deloitte poster in that this can be pretty ridiculous if you are at the PwC side looking at your strat colleagues.

To the Deloitte poster, I also got paid around 5.1k at SA1, so really quite similar. I was an average performer.

Thanks for sharing! Just to clear the air - I wasn’t referring to TAS (Deals)/Tier 2s (S&)

Nonetheless, I’m curious about your pay progression (base + bonus) over the years if you don’t mind disclosing!

This is very true.

Say what you want about the pay at the lower ranks of the big4, but after 2-4 years of experience grinding there, the exit opportunities are pretty good. Quite a lot of private investment or fund accounting jobs look for big4 employees as preferred candidates.
