Thinking of taking up an accounting degree, but heard the starting pay is much lower than an average Uni grad. Anyone have insights on what the pay progression is like?

The accounting industry is an oligopoly of the Big4 and therefore starting pay is more controlled. The pay increases significantly as you progress to a controller (S$114k) or management level such as CFO (S$134k).
