Based on ur audit progression, by year 4, an auditor should be drawing about 5k. My friend is drawing 5.2k after 4 years.

Just looking at the number, you know which is higher. Not to mention by year 4 in Big 4, I assume you are a S2/AM with added responsibilities and probably longer shitty work life balance. For comparison, my friend has only been promoted once again in the past 4 years but is drawing higher salary with significantly better working hours.

And if u can finish in 3 yrs it says alot abt accountancy as a profession. The work is easy and doesnt need much brains. So even a tunku abdul rahman smk jiuhu can do. So if u enter this industry why complain? If u want high pay then take up more complex work. Dumb bean counters!

You speak like as though the people here have any other option.

If they're local university grads, they're probably the slacker kind who were content and stopped striving to improve their portfolio once they got a B4 offer, while the high flyers were still hustling, interning and joining case competitions hoping to get a banking role or some other good management programme. Most people entering B4 are the less driven Type A students because by its very nature, the supposedly steady progression and 'iron rice bowl' of B4 attracts those who don't want to push themselves.
