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?
imo, its a combination of the above factors. also to generalize a bit, the younger generation places work life balance higher up on their list of priorities. my observation is that it used to be people knew what they wanted when they come b4, go through the grindhouse use it as a stepping stone or whatever reason they want. nowadays it seems like they are here just because they dont know what to do and just know that coming big4 wont go wrong.

Where did the work life balance thing come from?

I didn’t hear much about it in back in my day but is it like the “in” thing now?

Reason is very simple. The pay at Big 4 doesn't match up to other sectors and they have worse work life balance. Why would someone willingly go there unless they have nowhere else to go? Even if they wanted to make equity partner, they might as well work in an MNC/bank/govt as fresh grad first then come in as an experienced hire (e.g. Manager/Assoc Dir).

There have been a couple of pay increment in (some of the common) Bank MA programmes between 2013 - 2021. Bank MA programme (or corporate MA programme) are the next natural choices for accountancy students, so it is not unusual if we see less willingness solely based on pay discrepancies.

I don't think people think so much about the CA qualification prior to joining. But yes, the new CA qualification requirement is a bloody waste of time and too taxing. They have already mugged for 3 or 4 years in universities, and they still have to mug again while oting in audit.
