Anyone ever think that the extra pay bump you’d receive from working in private industry, if invested YOY, far exceeds the raises and compensation from working in public accounting?

I guess depends on how long you stay in public. Retire a partner at B4 and I believe their pensions are mid-six figures

Unless you plan to getting to VP/CFO (which are probably comparable in terms of stress but not time) , youll make more money in public if you get to partner in 12-15. This depends how young you are I guess, but working as a partner for 15 years can be very lucrative.

Question is, is that additional money worth sacrificing your family and personal life for? Complete value judgment there. For some people it is.

Received a salary raise unexpectedly through my manager's initiative w/ help fr HRBP. I'm happy and grateful for being appreciated but can't share it with anyone in the office. So sharing it here! Was told it was not a usual practice to receive mid-year increase and that they dont want me to leave just because of money. Got promoted and had salary increase early this year. I'm overwhelmed and still shocked but also pressured to perform more. Btw, my manager is already exiting the company.

Hey there,

I am in TAC for a fairly large networking company. I am making 48k a year with decent benefits and unlimited PTO. I love working at this company and my boss is fantastic. However, I feel as though I am being underpaid given my credentials. I have my CCNA and almost have my CWNA. I am coming up on a year at the company and want to start either negotiating higher pay or looking elsewhere. What should I do and how should I go about it?

I grew up in USSR, my mom and dad both worked at the airport and my mom was working shifts (2/2) as she was a chemical engineer approving planes engine conditions as acceptable to fly.
So ever since I was 8, I was going to school by myself, I was picking up my brother from kindergarten and taking him home. I was feeding him and myself with stuff my parents left in the fridge.
