i worked in big4, both china and syd. My view on this was, basically it's supply vs demand issue. Auditors are in high demand in last 10 yrs in China, will be in at least next 10 yrs, if you look at the recruitment numbers in big4 (usually 1000+). there are simply insufficinet supply of qualified accoutants with knowledge to western accounting principles/IFRS. it's not just accounting but more about english and other business skills. we are all good at learning but under the china/cicpa education system, it's not good enough. the supply side gets even worse with high turnover in big4 (easily 20-30%%) accross the board. with the number of IPOs of chinese state owned companies in overseas stock market, the growth opportunities for big4 aduit is just huge. unfortunately, local firms are not be able to match with big4 firms in a short term, esp for overseas IPO audit. So i agree, the pay is exceptionally high in china for big4 and this is evidenced by an articla in financial times which saids in china/india (developing mkt), so professionals are paid higher than their foreign counterparts (e.g. auditors, and maybe bankers).
It's was competely different in australia. NO any signle graduate or experienced hire goes to big4 for money, but experience and creditabiliy. (I am not going to argue with any comments on big4 work and quality or experience, but they are the real drivers for all the new grads coming in, and proably leaving in next 2 yrs or so.)
so, don't worry about too much the pay esp if you are a new settler from big4 china firm, it's a good stepping stone into the commercial market, giving yourself some time to develop your knowledge about local practice, economy, AIFRS etc etc..gets to know the environment and the people, it's very easy to move out from the charter firm with some local experience. and be preared to accept some set-backs in work, it's a different environment and responsibilities of seniors throug mgrs are different from what we had in china.
all the best |
