Sadly the vast majority of fresh grads don't start out in the big 4 and above, so the pay is pretty **** and will remain **** (for the amount of hours worked) until they go in house or lateral upwards above the big 4 tier.

My tech friends have it good - companies practically fight over them.

Thought law is sunset, guess both biz and law aren’t immune to the tech boom

It is indeed quite amusing lol

Genuinely thought nus business school would at least groom students to be resilient. Judging by how suicidal this nus bba kid gets after landing SGUnited traineeships, I am guessing not
