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.

$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

I'm a Consulting Associate and have been with RSM since Fall 2020. I make 75k in Chicago - I think I'm underpaid(?). I get DMs from Big4 and I'm thinking about moving firms. Should I wait for the promo/bonus on Aug. 1 or just start looking now? I know for a fact I'll be getting promoted to Senior.
