The 2 year Am thing is relatively new (they changed it every few years.). Back when I was still in big 4 it's only 1 year, so by 25 I was already a manager, but as they say, it's not an easy job, and many of us burn out very quickly.

I think it depends on which Big4 you are referring to, apparently the firm you came from changed it back to 6 years because they realise whilst it attracted talent, they couldn't retain when they promote people too quickly. Gotta say the steepest curve is when you become a manager

Anyway, I just counted my years properly and I was made manager in 4.5 years. So the girl I was referring to must have made manager in 4 years

Which firms are these? Mine used to be 5-6 years, but think it'd now slowing down a lot. Takes 1.5-2 years per level now.

Wondering if someone willing to share insight on KPMG Tax.

My uni batch mate got offer for KPMG tax. Supposed to do medical next week. BUT we just heard from friend in another Big 4 that kpmg tax department is "collapsing", bad bonuses in Feb and now some big restructuring because bosses all fighting and always blame and bully staff. Is this true or exaggeration? Sounds very scary if it's true but need to verify rumour or truth.

Now my friend big dilemma because she's still waiting for other firms to reply her but now dunno if she should do her medical now and reject kpmg if other firms offer her. If big 4 don't take her, are small firms ok? She thinking BDO maybe.

If you are from kpmg can you help confirm the situation in tax? I thought tax normally quite ok.

No idea about KPMG. But I heard BDO is the most chinaman of all.

Thanks. I'm big 4 too but Audit so no idea about Tax industry. More of our batch mates also joined audit. Tax not so popular.

If anyone has more inside information please PM me.
