Hi all,
I have two campus EY Deloitte on the table from Deloitte Tax (BTS), and EY Tax (DSG). Both are located in the SF Bay Area. Deloitte is paying 2k higher base and a 2k higher bonus.
I have to make my decision by the end of next week, so I’d appreciate some input and opinions on which offer I should take.

A year ago a lawyer told me it would cost something like $750 an hour for a guy to read a boilerplate agreement. Just to read.
There is a huge difference in overhead between the two situations.
Tell him you want a fixed-fee proposal, based on any and all assumptions he has regarding on your garden as of execution of the agreement. Also ask for a 10% discount for their hourly rate since you’re being oh so kind to give them business. And tell him you will only pay for the main plumber’s time, not for his assistants’, and that $175 should also cover all the tools and material to get the plumbing done.
Sure if my firm were billing me out at $750/hr I wouldn’t have remembered this interaction.
