As the graph shows the the bigger in size does not mean higher the salary.
Although the salary is one of the factors to decide which firm to join, there are other factors to consider such as work environment, employee benefit, what you can learn from the firm…etc.
When you consider which firm to join, you also want to consider you career after joining the firm for the best of your future.
