Considering move from PwC to KPMG. I know people in the same LOS at KPMG and they mentioned that they have better work life balance/salary. I am a second year senior associate in SALT in the Raleigh, NC area. Current salary is 105k. What should I expect moving firms?

A few bucks is not a great reason to move at the senior level. You should be thinking about where you will get the best experience/learn the most so that you are more valuable later in your career (where the real money is earned). When you jump firms you have to relearn systems/firm procedures and rebuild relationships. If you don’t like your current line of service, partners, or teams, then sure, but don’t make short-sighted move for what will seem like peanuts in a few years.

If you have a path to Manager for mid year or next June I would try to stick it out until then. You may end up spending a year or two longer as a SA at KPMG if you move now.

Boomerangs are common so it’s a low risk move as long as you don’t burn bridges on your way out.

In a similar situation. Following.

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?

Just finishing my first week in as an audit intern and genuinely I have no idea what I'm doing or even a general idea of the audit process. The senior associate left the engagement last week so it's just me and an associate, and they don't have time to give me instruction.

Am I stupid or did the e-learns not prepare me for any of this? The training told me I'd be auditing cash but I haven't even touched a bank reconciliation.
