  not sure what is the pay range for auditors. but it is indeed true that the work is rather stressful, if you work for the big ones. we always hear the auditors complaining about the work load when they came for audit every year. most will say working as one has no life.. turnover rate is pretty high cos there are always new faces.

  2500 for today's market is not considered a lot actually, but maybe for long term, the yearly increment will make it more lucrative.

  I'm now taking accountancy in poly, wonder whether I'll continue taking ACCA. Though the job sucks, I guess the money is the attractive point.
