Fellow Nairalanders,

Which of these two consulting firms, would you accept an offer from and why?

This question really deserves an answer. I guess I'll accept the one that's wiling to pay more money

I think u should toss a coin

How much is each firm offering you? I am also trying to find out the pay for entry level and second year staff into public accounting firms in Nigeria!

@ POSTER, Next time when U want to ask a question like this, state ur exact circumstances and people will respond better.

AS regards entry level, PwC's offer is a bit higher than KPMG. PwC has a flat gross of about 2.5-2.7mill. At least U'll go home with nothing less that 130k after taxes. KPMG offers btw 2.2-2.6 mill depending on whether U are chartered or not. So, we r talking about 105/125k for Non-Chartered/Chartered after taxes. KPMG pays 4 ur exams (ICAN) to get u chartered and gives u abt 5 wks free vacation to prepare 4 ur exams. PwC does same 4 ACCA though, i hear they deduct the exam fees later (NOT SURE OF THIS).

Also, i heard the pay is better 4 KPMG as U go up and KPMG has a stronger advisory practice, but PwC is more robust in electronic Audit. Any of them is a good deal, though what i stated above might help ur choice depending on ur career aspirations.

@ miss ojugo, 2nd level KPMG, COULD be over 3mill, but with ur CIA (if U've got one), U cld negotiate and even get above the second level if u've got the requisite experience. In both firms, promotion (level + salary) is 95% sure evry year except if something reall bad happens.

Takia
