What is the actual bonus payout for a KPMG Malaysia AA2 (Audit Associate 2) position?
Hey guys,
I’m currently looking into a role as an Audit Associate 2 (AA2) at KPMG Malaysia.
When talking to HR, they were incredibly evasive about the bonus structure, hiding behind the typical "it's discretionary and performance-based" corporate script and refusing to give even a rough estimate or historical range.
I know Big 4 entry-level base pay is already low, so I want to know what the reality is before making a decision. For anyone currently there or who recently left as an AA2:
What does the performance bonus actually look like in terms of months (e.g., 0.5 months, 1 month, or absolute RM amounts)?
Does it actually hit 0 months if the firm has a bad year or if you're rated average?
Is there a guaranteed 13th-month bonus, or is everything strictly variable?
I have another offer with a higher base salary on the table, and HR's gatekeeping is making me lean heavily toward that instead. Would appreciate some honest, unfiltered insights. Thanks!
