My first job offer was 35K at a boutique. 4 years later and moving to another firm I’m making 100K TC. Just because you start at this, it’s not forever

Analysts at big 4 are paid 35k I think so this seems low?

I got a 1k bonus in my first year OP but it was pro rated from when I joined

Depends if you are generalist, I would say this is low for some specialties (E.g. life science would start in high 30s)

like

I would have said it would be £35k min but the sign in bonus is decent

Provided it jumps up over the next couple of years, i’m not sure grad salaries are the be all and end all. More important about the experience and whether they actually like the firm. I’d say that looked fine for someone fresh out of uni..

Started at acn on 31.5 2 years ago, I think they come in at 33 now

Depends on the service line obviously… but this sounds like a very low offer particularly in this environment

Technically, if you are rich enough, isn’t self-insurance the best option? Insurance companies have to make money by taking in more in premiums than paying out in claims, so on average the customer is losing money and has a negative (albeit stable) NPV on their insurance money. But if you had enough money to tolerate the risk of a unexpectedly high expense, wouldn’t it be better to not pay for the insurance?
