Asking for a friend. Currently at a boutique consulting firm as Assistant Director making $170k with good work life balance. On track to Director end of this year with next increment likely at $180k. Has an offer from EY in Financial Services, at M3 level for $195k + $20k sign in bonus. Promotion to Senior Manager at EY doesn't seem likely until 2023. Is this is a good offer? Would it be advisable considering opportunity vs work life balance at EY?

Thoughts on going from a national firm to a smaller one with ~200 employees and $65M in revenue? I’m a first year tax manager and can get a 33% raise by going to this firm.

I’m interviewing for a remote role in which the salary range is listed. It’s a 50k spread. I’m 90% sure part of the spread is due to cost of living adjustments for where you live (I’m in a mid-sized city). Even the low end would be a decent raise for me; however, the average salary based on a 20-25 person sample size on Glassdoor is about 8k above the midpoint of the range listed. What would you ask for if you were applying for the role? Shoot the middle? Shoot the average from Glassdoor? Other?

On track to get promoted in July, but applying for positions elsewhere now (within consulting). Will recruiters need proof I’m set for promotion in July if I want to leverage it towards the new role?

My MD asked me if I wanted a raise... I think it's a trap

What would you consider a good % raise for a strategy promotion? Mid-level to senior mid-level

I just found out that my male coworker makes $15k more. Backstory, new department, my manager hired me a year ago, and after 5 months, a newperson joins the team. I go through the onboarding and all the training. We do the same work but have different titles. A week ago, my manager congratulates me on my first year performance and tells me he is giving me a promotion and a raise. The new promotion is the same title as my coworker, and even with the raise is less pay. What should I do?

Got a promotion. Leading a team now. Contractor from my previous team got assigned to come with me (I'll be hiring more). When I met with the contractor, he said he prefers the work my team is going to be doing, but doesn't prefer to work for me because his ego won't allow him to report to someone with less experience than him. What exactly am I supposed to do with that? Suggestions?

I’m a strategist making 100k at a brand consultancy. I started a little over a year ago at 75k and they gave me a raise a few months ago to better reflect my responsibilities/contribution. Now I’m expecting a promotion to senior strategist next month and am wondering if I should ask for a raise alongside the title change? I know my last one was generous, but shouldn’t a title bump come with a little more as well? I’m trying to figure out how to navigate this, don’t want to seem greedy.

Hello! Currently with KPMG Australia in their human capital advisory function, as a Senior Consultant. I have been offered a tempting role with Accenture’s human capital advisory function as an Associate Manager with a 15K salary bump and enticing bonus structure. I am struggling to decide whether to take it or stay for a potential promotion to Manager next July. Needing guidance on which one is smarter for me, career development wise. Thanks

I’m currently an Account Supervisor and looking to ask for a raise and or a promotion. Wondering what all of you make (slavery ranger) as account supervisor or sr. Project Managers ?

My fellow Deloitte fish! I left a few months ago for industry role. Wondering how much did you get on pbb and raise. Please share your title too.

So I always get my work done, manage a team and have contributed great ideas, but when I spoke to my manager and her manager abt a promotion, the feedback was that I’m not enthusiastic enough. How do you show enthusiasm?

Current pay 120k up for promotion, just got a job offer at 155k at the same level in industry.

I told my director (we have a close relationship), about it and he said. I’d recommend you wait as you are a shoe-in the next promo cycle.

What should I do? Promo talks are not for 6 months months.

Our CSM department is going through a major restructure right now. There has been a huge amount of turn over since the beginning of the year. Our managers have not given us any insight to what the new restructure will look like, they have also pushed out our annual raise conversations until the end of April. A lot of CSMs are leaving the company and it has me thinking maybe I should entertain other opportunities elsewhere as well.

Has anyone else had an experience like this?

Anyone here have their MS in Supply Chain? If so, how big was your raise, and did you have to switch companies to get it?

How to approach it?
1) Network - send out coffee chat emails to alums or any professional at the firms you want to apply to
2) Prep technicals, behaviorals
3) Insights/Diversity programs - look for any that are still open and apply ASAP if you qualify, they can lead to an accelerated interview process
4) Find when apps usually open

I have $50k (+emer fund & retirement) and I want to build a deck, which will be $25-50k depending on options. Should I pay cash for the deck or take out a home equity loan?

Thank you in advance!

First year associates,

Using the following won’t get you fired:

“Sorry, I’m at capacity.”

There’s a point where it’s irresponsible to NOT say it because you’re liable to start dropping the ball and negatively impacting clients, or at least producing work product that takes forever to fix.

I was told upon leaving the company, as part of the exit process I have to submit my time sheet for the past two weeks. Is it possible that they don't pay me, if I don't have chargeable hours?

Geez. Tired of having this discussion. Tom Brady is the Greatest of All Time. Facts. End of discussion. People who don’t agree with this can’t accept reality.

I can’t pas my CPA yet, I’m short on tax credits. Do you have any online courses recommendation to get this done ? Thanks

How bad is it to renege an offer? Signed one for a big 4 but another big 4 gave me another and I want to go with the second big 4....

fiancé doesn't want me to work; he said it's annoy to listen to me talk about my job, said CPA license is easy to obtain and auditing is stupid, that I just match numbers from column A to B 😔🤕

How awesome would it be if the amount of overtime you worked translated to additional vacation? Say you worked 200 hours overtime = 5 weeks extra vacay

Standard font at other Big 4?

What salary would you consider to be financially set? Said otherwise, what’s the salary you would feel comfortable w/ if you never received another raise (keep it realistic and add context)

I have multiple family members that go to the same CPA for their personal taxes. Sounds like he does a good job. He also has a full time job at a university (professor and university finances). I asked for his contact info and apparently he communicates best over email. And he uses his University email for communication. Anyone else a find that problematic?

Interviewer reached out to me through text to schedule the call and now I want to follow up but I’m not sure if I should text them back. I’ve had interviews with this company in the past and I can probably figure out the email but should I do that, text back for an update (they said they’d get back to me later that day), or just wait?

Please take calls in an office. I literally cannot stand people that take calls at their desk and then proceed to talk loudly enough so that everyone within a 15 foot radius can hear.
