at what point in someones big 4 career should i expect to make 100,000?

[endingupinmanchester]

I am based in the Uk
I would ask someone else but my parents have no idea what accountants do (they are academics who earn nothing) and my friends are lawyers/bankers/consultants etc. so they have no idea either

Until recently I was in a Big 4 at the top end of Senior Manager, on £100k plus bonus (about 14-20k depending on performance). This was in Consulting though not accounting/audit but I imagine it’s not that different. I have over 20 years experience, though not all in Big 4. Would have got there sooner if I had staying in house all the way.
Hope that helps

Top end senior manager, poss bit lower than that

is that 100k your base, or with bonus

That’s base.

Depends on how aggressive you are and if you have time out for mat leave surely.

I know a guy who started straight out of uni on £38k, quickly went to £60 ish then every couple of years had another chunky rise. He was over £100k late 30s and had left to set up an NGO.

Didn't you start the exact same thread earlier?
