Job options as a new grad (big 4 vs ato) - Hi guys,

I was offered a role at a big 4 accounting company as an audit graduate around a month ago but 2 weeks ago I was offered a grad role at the ATO. I am having a pretty difficult time trying to decide between which role would be better for me. I guess my goals in the future are to buy an apartment of my own. No immediate plans of starting a family. I would like to earn 100k within the next 5 years.

The ATO pays 78k per annum for the grad role and upon completion of the training I will earn 87k per annum (super inclusive at 15.4%). Meanwhile big 4 starting salary is around 65k per annum (super inclusive). I don’t know how much big 4 pays after the first year. So obviously the ATO pays more initially.

Given my goals and priorities what would be the right option in my situation. How much is the workload in big 4 audit vs the ATO?

Edit: my degree was a bachelor of accounting and finance at a G08

Berkshire is hoarding so. much. cash.

Intel’s been lagging behind for years, while AMD has pulled far ahead in both consumer and professional-grade chips, it’s really not a close race anymore.

There’s this idea floating around that throwing enough cash at Intel will suddenly turn them into the next TSMC. But semiconductor manufacturing isn’t something you can ... See More rush, it’s a complex, slow-moving process that takes years of precision and experience.

Intel could recover some ground eventually, but framing them as the savior of American chipmaking feels more like a political talking point than a practical reality.
