M1 m2 m3 etcis profession. Whats the diff? Your portfolio u handle becomes bigger and depends on ur luck see whether u get bad clients. Eg. M1 handle 800k portfolio size. M2 handle 1m plus portfolio size etc etc.

and NO. Its not a confirm progression. U can have 10 years of experience and still be M1 because u just sux

That's good to hear. My start date is exactly the start of their FY so I assume I'm automatically eligible for promotion then!

Long past the days where the SC to mgr is easy

Does that mean I would be promoted to M1 next year, M2 the following year, with the corresponding pay scale assuming average performance and the pay scale is accurate?

Unregistered I'm an audit senior. Wanna ask.

Is it because management feel my salary too high and so cannot hire more associates?

Anyone the same feeling as me?

E.g. Oh your salary too high so you should tank 2 to 3 person workload

Tax
A1 - 3.6k
A2 - 4k
C1 - 5k
C2 - 5.5k
SC - 6.2k
M1 - 7.4k
M2 - 8.2k
M3 - 9k
SM1 - 10.4k

Questions:
1. Is there any room for salary negotiation?
2. How is the salary progression like? Aside from annual increment, is there inflation adjustment? If I wasn't promoted, will I still have salary increment?
3. I see that there is no AM in Tax, is SC equivalent to AM in other practices?

Salary increase in big4 is a trap. Outside commercial salary never increase hor. Ppl don't regard audit as relevant at all, the longer you stay, the less likely you can leave without accepting pay cut.
In commercial probs jump ard for pay bump/title is the fastest. The biggest scam of big 4 is lowballing fresh grad right at the start of your careers and slowly increasing the pay to industry average but called it fast progression and pay raise
lol why tahan 3-4 years to get what other industry starting pay ?
