even a back office job will pay more tho maybe the work wont be as interesting it all comes down to what you want out of a job. However long term you can earn alot, my uncle was at pwc audit and after about 5/6 yrs he was team leader and on around 45k outside london. But banking and accounting are different professions. I think even working for glaxosmithkline, proctor and gamble, shell etc in their business advisory depts pay a tad more.
