I am motivated by Comp, 1 year out undergrad making 70k as an auditor at a big 4 firm. What options should I look for to increase Comp? I’m think of going back to college/self teaching to learn actual high income skills. Any recommendations on what to do or learn ? I don’t think audit will ever give me opportunity to gain the comp I one day want

70k in audit for 1 YOE is actually good. I know of seniors who are barely in the 70’s at Big 4 (I was one of them). If I were you, I would wait another year to make Senior and jump to a competitor’s advisory/consulting practice. That’s what I did and my comp went from $72k as an audit Senior to $101k as a Senior in advisory. If you are solely comp driven, you’re best bet is to get an MBA from a top 20 school. With a top MBA you can get into consulting or IB where your first year total comp will be around $200k+

If you aren’t sure about an MBA, another option is to look into getting a masters in cyber security or some tech related field. My friends who went into cyber are now making around $140k with 4+ YOE.

Same here I’m trying to get out but keep falling into the abyss.

With luck you could transition into other adjacent fields... perhaps into Consulting, Transaction Advisory, or a boutique / mm investment bank.

Thank you everyone

Go to advisory or Mc

I’m in advisory audit* (Internal audit) sorry for the confusion

Working on some law firm applications tonight and it sucks that I know that I am so capable and have a strong work ethic but firms can’t see beyond grades or the fact that I didn’t go to a t14 law school or prestigious undergrad.

It’s discouraging sometimes especially because I worked so hard with pretty much no guidance (first gen, poc, low-income) to get into college and do well and then get into a t30 law school

I understand that it's a way of "SEO" in LinkedIn but it just discourages us freshies.

Actually not sure if this post belongs in this bowl but.. it is what it is?
P.s. I still apply to these because what's the worst that could happen... right?
