Unregistered Orange is offering 4k for fresh grads in tax and assurance. But no bonus for the first year(but actually they also don’t pay bonus when they only offer 3.6k right?)
Any news about the other three?

People have different levels of competence, so you have adapt to their working styles. You can't expect your juniors to work at your pace or have your level of competency. This is common nowadays. You might not receive the same support you gave your seniors when you were an associate. You'll either need to handle more workload than your previous seniors did, or consider finding a new job where your team mates share similar goals.

how did you break in from audit? i've spoken to in-house recruiters about SAP/ERP consulting before but always get rejected because I don't have relevant IT experience.

not OP but weaponised incompetence is a thing. even if manager is on your side, client cannot accept delay since there's fines and deadlines, while resourcing won't agree to give you replacement. i faced this issue before in an engagement where it's just me and an associate, and even if you put the associate onto a PIP immediately you'll still need 1.5 months before you can get a replacement. if this is an industry where the deadlines didn't have monetary fines it wouldn't be such an issue.

i also don't think it's just about standing up to senior. this associate just outright played phone non stop during working hours because they don't like audit at all but want a big 4 job because parents said must work in big 4.

I was from yellow. Tbh I think most of my big 4 ex colleagues have their own toxic sm story. The key is not to let them gaslight u into thinking u are not doing well or enough as compared to your peers. Chances are they are just biased and a sad human being

Just want to tell everyone who is thinking abt quitting . Don’t worry. Don’t be afraid. U will do just fine outside of big 4

Nothing is worth more than mental and physical health. I was a fat cow girl during big 4 days and now I’m very slim :> with higher salary and time to date hot guys

Bye bye
