Audit Senior
Pros: There are the same reasons as in other BIG 4.
To gain technical and professional experience.
Participate in audit engagement all over Russia. 
Looks great on CV. Build up a network.
Have the knowledge, while putting in the hours, that you can always get at least twice the current wage in the industry.
Meet occasionally pretty bright people.
Cons: Long hours. 
Low pay.
Over eager management, that can't budget properly.
Some of expat managers who have little management and technical skills.
Work life balance - is more like work and no life :)
Contribution is not always recognised: the better you work, the more you will be asked to do.
The plenty of mediocre people around, who think they are the "stars"
