Sorry. Didn't meant to discredit any professional qualification or hurt any one's feelings.
Plz note that I said what "AN ACMA USUALLY GETS"
There are many ACMA's taking very good salaries & I've seen a looooooooot of ACMA's working on average salaries. I don't how do so many people succeed to qualify as ACMA. Some time back we were hiring a Manager & we got 700+ application majority of which were from full ACMA's & most of them drawing avergare salaries working with average companies & govt organizations.
I'm not talking about just my workplace. The observation is based on my workplace & I've personally seen many ACMA's & have helped with the hiring process of some large companies processing hundreds of audit/accountancy personnel application & observing the interviews & market. Things maybe different in Faisalabad, Karachi etc where ACMA's may get more in manufacturing environments.
The major problem with ICMA what I've seem is that it takes too much time to pass the papers & big firms don't hire until you've passed majority of the papers. After some years, most of the students start doing jobs with govt, small companies on basis of academic qualifications & part qualified ACMA. Resulting in that when they qualify after many years they get overqualified for ftse 100 companies & other high paying jobs. So they continue on their work with their average employers & average salaries with some advantage ofcourse of being an ACMA.
