Depends on where you end up working but for big 4 accounting figure on base of 50-60K, maybe small end of year bonus (I have friends at PWC and KPMG). Corp finance, maybe a little lower, but about the same.

 

I only know of one person in entry level corp fin @large tech with 70k starting. I've heard corp fin--higher starting, slower growth, worse exit ops; big 4 accounting vice versa, can anyone confirm this?

 

I have never heard anyone complain that the big 4 has horrible hours, mostly I've heard the opposite (banker bias), better work-life balance at the big-4. There is also slow growth in the top 4 auditing firms as you can tell if you look at compensation progression. Can't really speak too much on corp fin at f500 firms though.
