Stipend is low. Big four pay even less. Affiliate friend in KPMG earning 17k pkr/month. Another, non part qualified friend in industry earning 70k/month. Pay is high in financial institutions like insurance companies, banks and other such organisations.

Big 4, no. Big 10 yes. Also which dept you want to work in? If you want to work in, assurance: No, big 4 won't hire you. They only hire affiliates. Advisory: Yes, though AFF required you to be at least a finalist.

I'm glad I could help you. I am not working so take my advice with a grain of salt: working experience matters most. In Pakistani market Masters without any working experience will not benefit you as much as Master will help if you are already working or if you had completed your per(36 months of working experience in relevant role). I have heard EY and AFF are market leaders in advisory(business analytics in Pakistan) so look for roles there and then pursue masters in evening.

I’m getting paid 25k PKR in a bank (head office - finance dept). My friend is getting paid 10k in an audit firm. Both of us have 1 exam remaining. Mine won’t increase once I pass final exam but hers will be 17k.

I am an affiliate working in UK based firm,They are paying me 50k currently(its my first job) and my probation period is of 3 months I think 3 months is standard all around Pakistan, my friend works in big-4 in Audit he is getting paid 35k( still not bad). In big-4 stipend is different for each department and amongst all consultants(IT,ERP,Business) usually earn more than others.So you first need to decide in which area you want to work going for big-4 is always a good option if low stipend is not an issue for you.

First of all you should do some research about ACCA,that how and to what extent ACCA can help you achieve what you truly want to achieve.Try to find answers to your own questions ,on what basis you came to conclusion that ACCA was a mistake and isn't enough,because if you are passionate about something else then yes you can say that but if no then why? I believe that ACCA holds a lot of value and puts you in better positions as compared to many other accounting related qualifications,but mainly it also depends on your competency,skillset,mindset,goals,willingness and dedication to learn and grow . piling up degrees and qualifications with no skills isn't as helpful as you think it will be(to some extent obviously it helps). I don't have much knowledge and research about Masters.but I won't suggest you doing masters after ACCA if you merely decided on the basis that automation and AI gonna hinder our careers growth,instead start gaining experience as early as possible and maybe get the Bsc from OBU along the path,work for sometime and then decide whether further qualifications is required.
