Hi everyone,

Im due to start my training contract in a few weeks in a Top 4 firm, and ive a few questions regarding, pay, exams and general working conditions.

My starting salary is in the low 20's. Given the troubled economic times, what I can realistically expect to achieve in terms of increases as I progress through the exam stages? Also are bonus's given if the CAP 1's are passed.

As regards time off, the Institute recommends study leave of 4 weeks for CAP's 1's. I presume this is honored by most firms?

As someone who never has done accountancy before, im worried that I will have some difficulty adjusting.

Thanks in advance for your help.
