Do big 4 offer relocation packages? And if so, what do they typically look like?

No - relocation is typically only offered if the firm requests that you move, to fill a critical need. If there is a critical need in the office you want to move to, you may get lucky. But many self initiated moves will not be covered by relo.

As a senior I requested a move and got 3k

Only if it’s a required transfer. If it’s voluntary then nope

If its higher COL you'll likely receive a somewhat substantial raise too

Did you get a raise? I’m about to transfer in a few months to a HCOL area

I got 5k to relocate, at partners request. But it wasn’t grossed up for tax, so only about 3k hit the bank.

I know someone who was offered a package over 100k. Moving expenses, corporate housing, closing costs on home. That was to fill a need at the firm and not personally motivated

I got approved for a $10k relocation bonus. They didn’t ask me to move, but I wanted the role and made my case to the partner so he approved it.

It's all about making your case and pushing for it with HR. My first move was voluntary and I got a 5k reloc. I was single and didn't have anything so that was fine. My second was voluntary as well and I got nothing. My wife got a big relocation package though so I cared a lot less and didn't bother pushing it. In retrospect I should have but that is in the past.

Sometimes. Depends on person, need etc. ask for one, doesn’t hurt. Have a figure you want. They may give you less, but worth asking.the more highly rate you are the better chance of getting one.

New baby so we want to move closer to family. It would be a move to a HCOL region of the country.

Yeah... and what if you just decided to move to another state/office (without being asked to move)?

Generally the answer is $0 for a self requested move unless you can negotiate something, which usually requires leveraging an offer from a competitor that comes with a nice signing bonus (I got 10k out of EY as an S3)

Yes but they suck

I moved offices within the same state and didn’t receive any relocation. I’m moving from Texas to DC in a few months and was offered $3K. Both moves were my decision

Feel like audit scheduling is always done on a knifes edge in that the timeline and staff schedules are enough so that if everyone works 60 hour weeks and no issues are identified then it can be filed on time.
