OK - Biglaw is a more lucrative and revered profession than auditing.. period... This is common knowledge... akin to saying the sky is blue.
Now, its a shame that a disgruntled auditor has to chime in and attempt to refute the OP stating the complete obvious fact that lawyers have more prestige than auditors, and completely discredit himself and his audit bretheren in doing so.
Look folks, the true value in public actg is the experience you and take with you in your next career. I was an auditor for three years and I know I learned a lot which helped me when I joined the Transaction Services Group, and which I know will help me when I attend Columbia business school this coming fall. Look at auditing as a low paid, non-prestigous apprenticeship that can open doors for a more interesting career.
NOTE: You audit trolls out there might say, well partners make more than $500K, but very few make partner... It's the same flawed reasoning as saying being a used car salesman is a great gig because you can make more than $500K per year (I'm sure there are successful used car salesman out there making that much). Please just accept the facts about auditing.. not sexy, not well paid... but good experience for your next career.

another M7 big ego who has "moved on" and now refers to his fellow auditors (brethren?) as "YOU audit trolls." It happens a lot when you get into a top MBA program. In fact, some of my own classmates met one, precisely from CBS, who snubbed them despite they being from his undergrad alma mater. Remember where you came from, CBS guy.
