Hi this is how bad this industry is. Once u in audit, lets say u are 3rd or 4th year in, u are drawing below6k, usually 4 to 5k is very hard to have a big jump unless u stay or join real big firms to hit 6k plus.

U be shock to finally know that sg only have 400 to 600 plus listed co. Is there any good prospect in accting?
Most of us know the answer and the market
(i mean ppl taking accting) is alry telling us a lot.

Influx of ft is just gg to ruin this profession. U be lucky commercial gg to pay u 5k lol. Even they do u arecompeting with 50-60 aunties
from my turn pr with cha pa lang or no education who only follow the process for 20uears.

Have fun with b4 exit opportunity. And i support u leaving b4, and perhaps this profession.

All audit work should be outsourced to poor countries. Brain -less checking and box ticking. Replaceable by AI within the decade too

Sinkies need to move up the value chain and stop relying on these low end functions to make a living.

big 4s are already doing this. Outsourcing work…

Question about salary increment

So I will be starting as Y1 Consulting Associate at EY for $4.5k, can I ask if there is salary increment after Y1 and if so, roughly how much?

grind like dog cat in the end competing with random ACCA candidates from random MY uni. this industry is not worth it

If only we are also getting x3.5. That would be nice
