I do have friends (fresh grads) go into high finance / banks / etc... with an accounting degree.
dont whine if u didn't do well enuf. period.

Non-technical or non-industry-specific "transferable" skills are just simple DA or soft skills that even fresh grads have. Don't be a Linkedin influencer and bluff the blur kids here.

The fact is industries that pay well don't consider accounting experience to be useful. You can get in perfectly fine (and much easier) without an audit background.

I think the only way to jump out from big4 is to aim for finance manager / controller / CFO etc. If yall think that yall dont have wad it takes, btr jump out of this industry.
There are other pretty decent industry with transferable skills from accounting and pays more.

When the senior manager wanna go back to commercial, it is easier.
Because they know how commercial works.
Those home grown managers dont even know how to use SAP. how to jump out u tell me HAHAHA

No it has always been the same difficulty. The people are just getting worse and can’t meet the bar for promotion (refer to many earlier discussions in this forum)
Historically the progression/ promotion up till AM is probably upwards of 95%. AM to Manager is probably 85% and above.
