Asking for graduating senior: Received an offer from KPMG for Associate position in Advisory. $85K starting salary and $7.5K signing bonus. Will be for the Tysons/McLean location. Is this offer up to par for the area and going rate for salary, bonus, etc? Should this be negotiated at all? Should a work at home reimbursement/stipend be requested for home office purchase? Advice would be appreciated, thanks!

Campus hires typically don’t have leverage

Always negotiate. Worst they can say is no.

What’s their leverage to negotiate? 85k as a new campus hire seems very good for KPMG and likely standard across the board for campus hires.

like

You don't have leverage and your negotiation tactics may lead to an offer withdrawal. Your starting salary is really good btw. We typically hand in grads offers and we have others on standby who didn'tmake the cut but they are not on the chopping board either. The moment you try to hustle for a few thousands extra they extend the offer to someone else and you'll be ghosted.

That stipend might already be a thing. Maybe you can just ask if that exists and if you’d be able to use it if so.

like

Agree. Standard comp at that level.

That’s solid, D gave me that offer a year ago with 2 YOE without a sign on

My clients are pushing back on it this year, and I can't say I blame them. If I were in their shoes, I'd rather take the risk of not filing than the expense of filing again. From my own point of view, I don't really want to spend my time on such returns, either, even if the revenue and easy return are nice.
