Deloitte Compensation - I am expecting an offer coming from Deloitte for a Senior 3 position, transferring from EY. My question is; how much should I say I want to be paid? This market is crazy. I just received an offer from GT that was $25k over what I told them I wanted (I am obviously unaware of what I am worth these days). Also, this is in the Seattle area, so relatively high cost of living. One last question, if given the choice would you go to GT or Deloitte and why?

The Deloitte Seattle office is a pretty solid office with some great clients (I am not there but close by). You already have big four on your resume though, so I don’t think it’s necessarily a no brainer to say absolutely Deloitte. Ask what their plan to deploy you is and see if you like the schedule. I would want a really large public client and maybe 1 or 2 small private ones, but maybe you hate controls and want all private. If that’s what you want but they are going to put you on Microsoft or something, then ask for
something different or go with GT.

I have to laugh though—I met a GT partner from Seattle recently and he was really insufferable. He introduced himself as “senior partner”. That’s not actually a title guy. You are just old. One in every firm!

For the extra 25K they’ll present you with a great learning opportunity and you’ll get to be the staff, senior, and manager on the team

Better than what I got. At GT I was the Indus team, staff, senior, and director on the engagement. And I didn’t get that 25k. Now I’m bouncing to Big 4. :)

Are you leaving for any particular reason?

I’d be very careful about switching Big 4 to do the same thing. They’ll give you a raise now, but your future raises will be capped since you’ll be above the average band. If you leave EY audit, I’d go to industry or some type of finance role instead. The only way I would recommend it is if auditing is your passion, and you hate everyone you work with at EY and are repeatedly put on the worst projects. Ya know? Otherwise it’s the same work and same hours, but you’ll be back at square 1 reputation-wise and won’t have a network.

Personally I am very hesitant of the “borderline” mid tiers. GT, BDO, Mcgladrey, all want big4 market share to an extent. So you may end up with comparable hours to big4 without the prestige. If your ultimate goal is to go private, I would say go big4 as it’s best to leave directly from a big4 when going private. If you want to be a partner and don’t want to dedicate your whole life to the career, try a midsize.
A plus is since you are coming from big4 I think it’s fair to ask what the work life balance is like at GT as that may be part of the reason you are not staying in big4. Ask a recruiter tho as I definitely got burned for asking that question once
