I can almost gurantee you that EY will not match your offer at 135. The senior pay band is large but they simply cannot justify giving you a 44k increase in salary when 5's will be getting 18-20% at most.

I do not have an MBA. Had 5 years of related technology experience from a software company when I joined as a Senior3. Also, if you are valued by your practice leadership, they will do their best to match (or beat) your competitive offer. I was at ~150k as an M2 and EY beat an offer from D and bumped me to 170+

But you may be stuck at that 134k for 5 years

@EY6 or I may be stuck getting 2-5% raises and close to nothing in bonuses. I'm going to wait it out and see what the comp comes in as next month but if I'm pulling in at a 4 and the numbers don't add up I'm out. They want you to be ambitious so they can pay you in promises of future advancement rather than in actual money. Promises — particularly those that are not in writing — are cheap. If I'm worth $135k, pay me $135k or 👋

There are high performing M1s in Advisory (across the board) making about $100 - so your exit op sounds solid compared to the expected trajectory even as a high performer.
