Unregistered Hi,

Anyone knows how is the pay for their Investment Analyst role and whether the culture/work life balance in CA is good?

Unregistered how's the salary increment like at CA?

Any idea about the salary structure in CA?

At least with the mid tier (one of the two you mentioned) I know exactly what I'm in for and there's the chance I could move to big 4 for a while for CV purposes (a fair amount of people I know that worked there have done that). It's definitely lower starting than CA but it would help if I could compare the salary progression.
What's the appeal about Big 4 anyway? I can understand for a fresh graduate wanting to get the brand and bear out the sweat shop for a few years and then moving on to big companies, but going one big round just to get into Big 4 as an experienced hire at jr levels?

Don't see the point honestly. Would the CV really be valued by hirers if you try to sell yourself to MNCs as a 30 year old KPMG associate drawing 3k? I doubt so.

CA option too administrative and after 3-4 weeks you will figure out everything you need to know and honestly such basic SOP skillset not much real value in the market. It's going to be standard route of 3-4 years entry, 3-4 years senior and if you are lucky after that maybe some sort of team lead or assistant manager role.

Since both of them not good, I suggest you stick with the one that has higher pay.

Thoughts

Bad company, decent culture, bad pay, limited prospects. Proceed with caution.

Lets just assume I'm equally interested in both, what are some of the pros/cons you guys can think of?

anyone got any insights for compensation/exit ops? don't want to waste my time preparing for the interview
LJ lah. You wanna apply for 3rd, 4th tier outfits like CA, pay you 5k good enough already still complain. You sure you even can pass through their interview or not.

Pay not good then apply to elsewhere lah. Nobody is putting a gun to your head and forcing you to apply right.
