Q: Big4 - Yearly salary increment

Currently still a first year associate. The work I do is pretty basic and every day is just vouching or typing stuff like stat review. Feel like there's no career growth down the road. The engagements I'm involved in aren't that exciting either. Didn't learn much so far.

Also, it seems like good roles in commercial requires both big 4 experience and another 1-2 years of experience in financial analyst/FP&A/BP. I've upskilling myself during my free time and dread to think that the future will just remain bleak after 3 years.

hey A1 job is like that! it will get much better when you move on to A2 and senior where there's more learning and challenges. jiayou!

So obvious that poster don’t know anything and anyhow crap. They think it is their father’s firm can anyhow give discount.

To them SM seems like a big shot cause they are too low level. Some posters already mentioned before, as long as you are not the partners, you are just slaves who are dispensable.

With great power comes great responsibility…

I still prefer A1 life more.

Don’t mind being A1 forever tbh. (But with senior pay…)
