Big 4 salaries

I have been trying to find out how your salary would progress in the big 4. However, all the salaries I find are for audit. Does anyone know what your salary would be in deal advisory and how this would progress with promotions?

Thanks

Hi, I can't disclose that as M&A intake was quite small this year, it's more north in the UK.

Do you know how this salary progresses over time as you get your accounting qualification and get promoted??

They are not required to do ACCA/CIMA accounting qualifications, but rather CFA. As for the progression in terms of the salary, I am not sure sorry.

Hey! I did a video on BIG 4 salaries in London a couple of months ago.

For non-audit departments it does vary, but add 10% to base salary and that would be a rough area.

Let me know if you have any other questions!

Bit of a niche question, but do you know how much the big 4 typically pay for pension contribution?

I heard the maximum EY contribute is 6%, not sure if this is right and would like to know about the other Big 4s
