Grant Thornton UK ke graduates ko 40,000 starting salary aur 5,000 'golden hello' bonus de raha hai Big Four accounting firms se compete karne ke liye. Is move ko September 2027 se effective mana raha hai, jisme junior pay other sectors jaise law se piche chhota raha hai. Grant Thornton ki chief people officer Abigail Fisher ne kaha ki firm aim karti hai 'number one' ki बजाय 'number two' ki Big Four ko.

Big Four typically London mein 30,000 se 36,000 offer karte hain. Increased pay top talent ko attract karne ki strategy hai established brands se. Grant Thornton, majority-owned by Cinven, usne bhi incoming graduates ke liye Emirates Stadium mein space hire kiya hai 'winner mentality' project karne ke liye.

Firms campaign includes slogans jaise 'Go one better than Four'.
