Hi,Does anyone know what the starting salary for KPMG technology advisory is? Bonuses? - just another 'money mad grad' looking at the bottom line.

Not even a ballpark figure?

Twelve.

Thanks for that Bored. I'm bored of sarcastic inane responses with not even a trace of wit about them.

How can you be bored? Only I answered.

At least it keeps the thread alive until someone comes along with an answer.More fun than just posting "bumps"

You're right anon. It will continue.Bored:'Only I answered.'I was of course referring to all the inane mindless responses on this forum by people who don't have anything better to do.If I took your line of reasoning I could simply answer 'Only I asked' to your initial posting. Think about it. Yes, almost. That's it. Now you understand.

And still no one has answered your question you thrusty little young gun.1. Call KPMG and ask them.2. Go to interview and see what they say.

You will get around 18k in the north, a bit more down south. You'll spend a large amount of you first three years doing external audit support.Its less if you want the ACA.By the time you have done 3-4 years you will be pushing 30k plus bonus. ACA's don't get annual bonus.Its swings and round abouts. In the FS space, most of our grad recruits dont get to do "Advisory" work quite simply because they don't have the skills to advise our client base (multinational banks, FTSE 350s, PE houses etc)But you will get some great house hold names on your CV, learn loads, get sick of paper work and have a good opportunity to move onward or upward.

Hi,I was thinking about going for the ACA option, simply because I thought that I might as well, but I didn't realise that you would get less money for doing so. Not that it's all that matters, but do you know what the difference is between the ACA and non-ACA routes?Thanks

So is it the case that ACAs will always get pretty low wages during training? Why?

because there's too many of them who are willing to work for peanuts

ACA pay is lower because:a) ACA training is expensiveb) Time spent training (about a third of your time) isn't spent workingc) Time spent working as an ACA trainee isn't spent on particularly high-value tasks
