Why does Big 4 underpay their employees?

I personally feel that Big 4 has cornered the market for a lot of entry level professionals. It is somehow considered that Big 4 is a prestigious job ( but, without the prestigious pay lmao). I personally feel that these companies need to be disrupted so hard by a small and lean team using tech to solve problems at their scale and F them over to teach them a lesson on their complacency.

Big 4s or any Indian practice for that matter do not follow pay revision in congruence with the inflation index.
EY India for instance used to pay 12-13 lacs for the senior consultant level in forensics in 2015. It is not much changed even now.

Working for a Big 4 company has been terrible. They don't care about work-life balance; they treat us like dirt.

They think it's okay to work even when we're sick. I start early and finish late every day, and they say it's normal. If...

Lessons from my Big 4 manager

  1. You’re not in Big 4 for the money early in your career. Your 20s should be spent laying the foundations of your career in your late 20s to early 40s.

  2. Money will never be fantastic compared to industry. People aren’t paying Big 4...
