24 yrs old, Macc, 1.5 yrs PwC tax experience, 1/4 done with CPA. Salary still capped at 55.5k.

Just received an experienced tax accountant offer from a company for 75k with 10% bonus after 1 year, same promotion structure as PA (SA,Manager, etc.).

I should probably take this right? I believe a top tier SA on my PwC team with several years experience was making 75kish.

Yes, it’s time to leave if you want $20k more now and 2-3 years of being underpaid is easily $45k.

Less hours than big 4? If so, sounds like a sweet deal to me. 🤷‍♀️

$75k base is about a senior 2 (now senior 3 b/c of pandemic) salary for low COL. Does the company offer similar or better benefits than PwC?

Right. SA1s start at 75k in mid COL. Is there a possibility you get promoted in July? If so, it may be worth the wait. Raises and bonuses are generally better at big 4

If you are unhappy with your current role, and you believe you can stay at least 3 years in your new role, I would take it. You can jump in three years and receive another 20k bump in the future. I am finding out a lot of the high paying manager roles want you to have some kind of industry experience as well

Should I accept the new offer ? How do I tell the previous company about this? Also, I’ve already negotiated with the first company and the $115K base is the negotiated salary. I really do not prefer one company over the other. They’re both great! I’m very confused here. TIA🙏
