Auditor starting pay at big 4 maybe 2.7k inclusive of OT. So its macdonalds pay they are getting. Does this count? Those that go into banks / other MNCs earn much much more. Even among those who went big 4, a good chunk go into deals, M&A, Corporate Finance. Audit is really...  |

Accountancy not equal to auditor, although many of us do end up going big 4. nus biz admin (acc) mean = 3020 ntu acc mean = 3063 smu acc mean = 3455 flat 3k pay is high? (except for SMU) I am comparing to engineering and computing majors So is it true that SUSS computing grads can earn more than acc, arts/humans grad from "big3"? (btw I am not from SUSS, just curious) |

It true. A poor MNCs use to have this problem when they want to hire Accountant but since majorly of good applicants are from Big4, their expected salary can match a Manager salary range. At the end, they get the cheapest 'quote'!

Starting salary doesn't mean much. Accountancy grads start off with lower salary but the increment is very high
