Hi WSO,
Does anyone know what the Big 4 Corp Finance, M&A, starting salary is for an Associate? Ideally would like to know what the pay is like in Canada, but US/UK works also. Thanks!

London - for all big4, Associate 1 is around ~50k and bonus is like 5kish
When you say associate 1, that is not a fresh grad in their first year, right? Ie pre ACA qualified.
My understanding was that salary would be 35kish with incremental increases until you pass the ACA after 3 years, when you’ll be on c.£50k plus a £5k bonus?
