Those in Big 4 or mid tier firms feel free to comment

10000000000

RM20k, no give tell them go fly kite and simpan kulit.

Wow

TS should trust this kakak. HR pipul.
Don't pray pray

Pretty sure its sub 10k.,,saw a 30+ manager in one big 4 salary slip

My ex-boss was Deloitte audit manager.. his last drawn salary was 7.8k.. he said audit manager salary range also quite big.. some only earn about 5k.. some earn 10k+..

pls dont waste your life auditing

But but this is many years ago or quite recent?

Wow that much?

Why?

He left the firm on 2017.. with the stagnant increment it should b more or less the same now.. or even lower due to pandemic idk lol.. cus i know UHY middle management salary are being cut.. not sure about big 4 tho

Audit salary and the workload really doesnt go hand in hand. However they get promoted easily compared to corporate

Senior executive (senior con) already getting 5k
Manager also 5k? Doesn't really make sense

small firm managers are not paid very high.

tax manager in some big 4 starting at RM 9k...a bit low but for 30+ age not bad la. But not many can tahan the workload.. that is why the turnover is quite high in audit firm.

workwise once attain the necessary experience CV also dah cantik.. better jump to GLC MNC to get more with lower workload.

Depend on you are the trouble maker or trouble solver to the client.

I was in the no.4 big4 as senior con before in the past 2 yrs

Audit workload doesn't let up and you're not really learning valuable skills from a market standpoint. Once you reach manager/senior manager, the more important skills are relationships. Whether you got business contacts to get more clients and increase audit fees. That'll help you go up to partner.

Technical skills usually Big 4 got plenty of people to cover, from managers to technical partners. It's relationships and marketing skills that'll get you ahead to partnership level.

Unfortunately, this means if you're can only get ahead if you're from the upper class tier [real upper class] or if you manage to 'jilat' enough corporate clientele.

To get to higher levels like senior manager or partnership, you have to be able to bring in more profits than what you're getting, else why they bother to make you a partner. If you've the right contacts and can bring in big clients, you DON'T need much technical skills. All your downliners can mostly handle and you just 'sign'.

If you don't make the jump, don't bother staying in audit firm. For that sort of stress, jump to investment bank better. Higher salary, higher bonus, same shit stress levels. At least IB skills might be more useful later when switching. Audit - stay max 5 years.

So to those accounting grads out there, they won’t be missing out if they don’t join audit as their stepping stone career path?
