All divisions pay the same, except maybe corp fin.

But you shouldn't choose a place based on how much they are paying you at the intern level.

Yeah because they all go up in later years to a very good level

For summer vacation everyone gets the same pay but on graduating if you have no exemptions from exams and if it's the same as deloitte from highest to lowest.

This is for the same grade. I don't know where corporate finance fits sorry about that.

I ended on £28k a year (with bonuses) and I was only in support! Must be higher for the "real" PwC jobs!

ey is over 30k for cf

For vacation schemes it will be around the £23000 mark next year I would think.

That's too low. What where you doing? And what were the hours?

Reply 10

£400 for an intern at pwc is viable depending on where you live in the country, what experience you have, how far you are in to a degree / aca.

I can second that.

£400 isn't low at all. I know someone at EY only getting £280, but that was in Leeds.

I was based in the London office and was in the Assurance/Audit department and we were all paid £400 per week...but i assume the Strategy interns got paid more.

Yes, which is why I mentioned it was in Leeds.

Bonuses in second year apparently, but the way the market is going that's got be to worth very little. And on top of that you're getting one of the least respected qualifications on offer for that division in the Big 4 (rivals offer ACA or CFA both of which are a lot more valuable and have higher tuition / examination costs). So all in all, you're getting rubbish pay, and a worse qualification (especially as usually the qualification makes up for rubbish pay). But apparently a better reputation, and I'm not sure that really makes such a difference. I've heard all of the rest of the Big 4 pay more for that division, with possibly EY being the highest (?).

You got an offer?

For Corp Fin, out of the big4, KPMG is the best.
But ask your self this:
26.5K - working semiIBD hours - studying for exams - bonus - inferiority complex +semiexit options = is it really worth it?

Why not do accountancy, still get ACA, work reasonable hours, still get (26.5k - X), and have the same exit options?
