Unregistered I think you have to count your blessing that you are able to achieve $12K/mth many years ago and still holding on your current job with the same pay.

Many in their mid-40s would be getting salary of between $6-$8K/mth and their job is still unstable.

There is still no consensus on whether it is just another "ACCA clone" to make money for ISCA without any real benefits. Everyone is taking it "just in case" but as of now, it is not really a huge step up.
CA designation doesn't even seem to be as highly regarded as ISCA claims.

For the above group its by choice! Their rational is to achieve the CA designation in 3 years and move on to industry and commerce where their earnings will take a big jump. The increasing number of NUS and SMU grads reporting to big4 in addition to the traditional big group from NTU has resulted in reduced opportunities for ACCA holders and Aussie on campus grads vying to get in.

For SIM-UOL and RMIT grads one needs a first class to warrant consideration whereas for ACCA holders is through working experience.

I have been encouraging the private degree holders to apply for mid-tier that's where your real opportunities are.

Here your LinkedIn proof.

The big 4 job is actually the safety net of local uni grads. They only get into it if they cannot get their bank jobs. Even those who fell into it leave after 2 years.

Hence, with few good local uni grads wanting the big 4 job and high turn over, the big 4 would actually have to take in SIM and Australia uni grads.

The associate levels are all grunt work anyway and do not need much accountancy skills.
