At what level, if any, does the comp at B4 dominate that of the mid market firms (RSM, GT, BDO)?

From my understanding, big 4 out pays GT at every level.

SM, PPMD for sure. Most big 4 senior managers make more than directors at mid size.

OP used the word dominate, though. A few grand at staff level is peanuts. When does the gap become more like 20%+?

Definitely at MD

Manager is when you really start to notice a difference and by senior manager it’s not even close.

When I was a senior a few years ago my coach and I took a director candidate who came from big 4 out to lunch. Found out later the candidate, who had the same amount of experience (years worked) as my coach, was looking for 250k while my coach was under 200k.

I made more as a SM at BDO than all my old SM colleagues at EY

Have an offer from a dream company but I'll need to go in at a lower level.

QUESTIONS:
Should this be in writing in the offer letter?
How detailed should it be? I assume I won't know what goals to set till I start...

Hi Fishes,

I received an offer (28 Lakhs + 3.9 Lakhs incentive) from Novartis for Sr Project Manager yesterday. This was just 13.6% more than my current earnings as Project Manager. I've given the reasons why I deserve at least 30% to HR. In response to that, HR has sent 2nd offer i.e. 29 Lakhs + 4 Lakhs incentive + 50k sign-on bonus. The 2nd offer is just 18.2% higher than my current earnings. Need your suggestion, if I could still negotiate with HR to finalize deal by asking for 25% hike?

Are private companies easier to work at than public companies in accounting? We have such an accelerated close deadline at the publicly traded company I’m at now, I really hate the inflexible tight deadlines and analysis seems to drag on forever after that.

Do private companies start their close after the month actually ends?
