FYI: "Severance pay is generally not mandatory under U.S. federal law, as it is treated as an agreement between employer and employee. It is not required by the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). However, severance becomes mandatory if promised in a company policy, employment contract, or union agreement."

"Severance pay is typically based on a combination of both the years you worked for the employer and your salary (or hourly rate). A common formula is one to two weeks of pay for every full year of service. While not mandated by federal law, this method determines the amount based on length of service multiplied by your salary rate."

Just wanted to save you time if you didn't have a severance package as part of your contract.

I have already been presented with an agreement so this is not applicable but thanks

Hi all,

Do firms match offers from other Big 4s for campus hires? I’ve received a campus offer from both
KPMG and EY. I’m more interested in the EY offer, but they are paying 3k less than KPMG.

Would it be a bad move to let them know about the other offer and try negotiating? I feel it wont make a difference in the long run, but at the same time I don’t want to leave any money on the table if possible.

Thanks!
