At Big 4 like PwC or EY, what’s the difference in pay for A1 vs A2. After taking into account a 5-10K signing bonus does that make TC actually higher for A1’s or do you usually get a 5-10K raise in base?

5 to 10K signing bonus? Where did you hear that?

I got 5k sign on and 5k CPA

When I was at EY, the pay bump from A1 to A2 was insultingly low. I made more as an A1 than an A2 when taking into consideration 5k sign on, 5k CPA and meager 2.5k end of year bonus

It was pretty easy for me. Went to a school that had a large network within the bank. I didn't do any networking specifically but a few alum saw my resume and picked it up. Went through a few rounds of intros / screeners, had a case study and killed the technical part of the super day.

Got the offer the same day I had the super day.

Any insight from current or former associates? What is firm culture like? Is work life balance decent enough to justify a lower salary?
