better to start at as high a salary as possible when you're young. especially when u're aiming to buy a house and get married and put the rest in investments etc.
Some poster above cited a double degree NtU top scorer who went to KPMG in 2015. i think he seriously made the wrong choice.
this dude is the 2021 NBS valedictorian for BBus & BAcc double degree. Bain & Co associate consultant. this should be the kind of roles tt top scorers should aim for. where the comp and exit options are commensurate with their talents:

When are you leaving? The valedictorians and most FCHs that I know have all left. Even those that hardcore say "audit for life" have left.

Some M1s now got S$7.2k.
S$7.2k x 14 = S$100k.

I'm guessing the difference between the numbers provided by the 2 of you is because of KPMG's 20% raise? Since 6k * 1.2 just nice = 7.2k.
Please correct me if mistaken.

But the NBS LKY Gold Medalist for Accountancy in 2021 went B4 instead.

Asides from audit, the tech consulting in B4 pays quite well for Manager grade too. 7k x 14 months for someone with 4 to 5 years exp is decent.
