I jumped out as S1, was offered a 30% increment plus a title drop (senior to analyst) . recently got another offer which gives me a 40% jump (this is after my 2 years in commercial with 20% adjustment - promoted once) same batch friends trying to jump out now, she was offered mostly at her current big 4 salary / 5-10% increase, what's worse is most FP&A job will take those from FP&A or accounting advisory functions. Auditors are not competitive in the Finance BP / FP&A fields cos of the lack of knowledge in Tableau/Power BI/ management reportings
if u want jump, jump asap. dont think the jump as mgr get 40% bump works anymore

can confirm. exit once senior, waiting until manager has 0 value now

theres a lot of roles outside of reporting for finance. please go do some industry research yourself. if you stick to generic cookie cutter **** like full set accounts and dont have a niche then too bad accept your reality that you are getting more and more useless in the world today

Meanwhile a typical big 4 auditor studies in telomg Ali uni and slacking , eat supper till 2am and Mia the next day morning lessons. Average score also
And now complain on this forum how come cannot get 5k and 9to5 job after I jump out as brilliant S1 >:<

I think most of the posts asking about exit opportunities are from local auditors. But yes, I won’t compare IB with audit. They are very different.

Senior 1 exit min 5.5-6 usually for lower job title then jump again in 1-2 years to higher title at 8+ and so on
