Remunerated based on how much money they make lor

Take your papers, become CA, then become PA, then open your own audit firm and you can decide how you want to split the profits with your co-partners.

Nothing stopping you from asking right.

But in B4, I don’t think managers got such power since the firm follows a fixed pay scale and salary bands.

Wad a joke mgr is also lowest life form, no power.

Errr maybe it’s not the same as other companies

But “manager” is not the same as “management”

A lot of times associates go complain to manager

Not realising manager is just normal employee, maybe there a few more years than you

Imagine you Primary One student not happy with the canteen food prices, you don’t go complain to the Primary five student right?

For example, PwC Australia has publicity release its Partners compensation to be between $340,000 to $3,675,000.

Feel free to google “PwC Australia salary release”

I think cannot compare. PwC really leads the pack for Big 4 firms in Australia. Deloitte comes second

Big 4 fee income in Australia is very heavily driven by consulting work. Companies and state and fed govt literally spend billions of $$ on consultants annually. U can read about it online. I think the top end partner comp in Australia are all from the consulting arm. Audit partners def not so much

Singapore Big 4 business is still mostly audit and tax only. So the comp variance should be lower between partners in singapore

Huh?? Siao liao. I thought they keep saying shortage and all the ginnas don't want to be auditors? Why now retrench? Auditors are like the construction workers of office jobs, and construction workers never get retrenched one.

One of the 'advantages' of Big 4 is that it's supposed to be iron rice bowl even though hiring standards are low. Is that not true anymore?
