Anyone have experience negotiating higher salary at pwc (can be other firm too) without coming to the table with another offer? I anticipate being a Tier 1 Senior Associate which may get me at 7-10%..

As a new hire or already at the firm? As others have said, if you're already at the firm, not much movement potential.

As a new hire, though, you can generally negotiate the different tiers. At least, that's the case at the other firms I've worked for, I assume it's the same at PwC.

Trying not to burn bridges here. I’m considering all options including trying to tee up the salary expectation discussion way before annual review. I want to emphasize that there are 4 positions at my level that need to be filled (they are having trouble doing so) and we are way overstretched.

PwC has cohorts, you cant negotiate your cohort pay. What you can do is skip cohorts. Instead of Senior 1,2,3-> manager, you can do Senior 1,2-> Manager

like

Yeah this is pretty much the answer here. You know where you can go and the salaries based on cohort. You move over a letter or you move up a level. Other than that it’s rating and bonus % or a retention bonus they may offer you (one time, 2 year staying clause).

..raise. I have a number in mind that is more like a 15% raise and my team is desperately hiring and Business is booming. I have an outsized contribution to the relatively small team. I feel as tho if I was interviewing I’d get an offer much higher than where I’m at today. How can I use their need for staff and my high performance as leverage to meet a reasonable salary goal?

As an ex leader in the Big 4, no. It is pretty set with very few exceptions.

Thank you so much for your input! It confirms my understanding generally and helps me temper my own feelings about it being personal.

Curious if anyone else is or has been in the same boat. I started as an assistant at an entertainment law firm prior to passing the bar. Upon passing, the partner told me they would hire an assistant for me since I now became an associate. That was 1.5 years ago and I am still in the limbo of juggling my own workload + doing assistant roles for my supervisors. I have also had no increase in pay, which is a huge deal for me. Is this normal in the entertainment world? Any suggestions?
