I am a PwC DDV senior. New to fishbowl. I am looking to switch to other similar DDV practices at EY Deloitte Accenture EY-Parthenon etc. I am not looking for a title bump necessarily just done with DDV at PwC however. I am in MCOL city, MBA. I would really appreciate guidance on comps at other places in their DDV practices. Mostly just interested in base comp. It’s fine if I don’t get a pay raise, not eager on a pay cut though. I have 2 years DDV experience and I am very good at casing. Tysm 💜
