Industry choice: after the CPA exam, the industry developed widely:
Four big accounting firms
PricewaterhouseCoopers, KPMG, Deloitte, Ernst & Young.
Their salary is not high, which may not be worth it compared with the complicated workload, but they have a good reputation. After working for 3-5 years, there is great hope of going abroad to study business school or transferring to other foreign companies, so it is called "talent springboard".
Even if you are engaged in general audit work in the Big Four, there are many opportunities to learn and practice business consulting. It is worth noting that the Big Four does not encourage employees to go to business school earlier, so it may be blocked in this respect.
The new reference salary of university graduates from the four major accounting firms;
PricewaterhouseCoopers 65,438+10,000 RMB/year, plus travel allowance and bonus, may reach130,000 RMB/year, and those who often work outside may be close to160,000 RMB/year. The other three are slightly higher than PwC.
The salary of consulting post is a little higher than that of auditing post. However, if you are already a note holder and join the four major accounting firms, the annual salary is generally around 300,000-400,000. As your working hours increase, if you become a partner, your salary will be incalculable, and an annual salary of one million is common among the four major partners.
In Deloitte, passing five courses of certified public accountants at one time will not only reimburse all the examination and data purchase fees, but also reward 10000 yuan. More than twice, as long as you get CPA, you will be rewarded with 5000 yuan and all expenses will be reimbursed. After getting CPA, 500 yuan every month. ?
Except Deloitte, in any of the other four companies, applicants for certified public accountants not only have exam leave, but also get corresponding bonuses or salary increases after passing.
Domestic accounting firms
The salary of accounting association holders in domestic accounting firms, which accounts for the majority of the industry, is indeed slightly lower than that of the "Big Four", but the annual salary of 250,000-350,000 is also the embodiment of the value of accounting association holders.
No pains, no gains. In terms of work intensity, the pressure of domestic-funded institutes is lower than that of "Big Four".
Large and medium-sized state-owned enterprises

Foreign-funded commercial banks or universal banks
For example, ABN Bank of America, Societe Generale, HSBC, Barclays Bank, etc. The gap between their investment banks and commercial banks is not big, but there are some differences in wages in various departments.
Corporate finance (equivalent to investment banking), private banking and other high-paying jobs are often much higher than general consumer banking and insurance. In any case, these foreign universal banks give people more comprehensive training than investment banks, and the probability of switching between departments is greater, so the future may not be as good as investment banks or consulting companies.
The reference salary of universal banks abroad: the investment banking position can reach 400,000-800,000 RMB/year, the commercial banking position can reach 70-/kloc-0,000/20,000 RMB/year, and the good position may reach 200,000 RMB/year.

Foreign consulting company

The salary gap of consulting companies is relatively large, but you can get a big salary increase after working for 3-5 years, and the salary of senior consultants is not less than that of investment bankers. Applying to the top business schools in the United States in consulting companies is basically successful, and the future is broader after MBA graduation.
