Hi all,
Do firms match offers from other Big 4s for campus hires? I’ve received a campus offer from both KPMG and EY. I’m more interested in the EY offer, but they are paying 3k less than KPMG.
Would it be a bad move to let them know about the other offer and try negotiating? I feel it wont make a difference in the long run, but at the same time I don’t want to leave any money on the table if possible.
Thanks!

So I just recently passed my CPA exams and I’m now looking for new opportunities. I’m hoping to work at a big 4 firm in tax and possibly connect with anyone working there right now. Please reach out to me, I would look forward to connecting and learning more about potential opportunities. Thanks!EY PwC Deloitte KPMG

It’s usually a screening mechanism (i.e. people are less likely to apply without reading the job description) but some people actually do put a lot of value on them. I’ve never read one when I’ve been interviewing people.
I think they do. I've had recruiters specifically mention that my cover letter was the reason they reached out. I don't think it's the most important factor, but I think it's one of them.
I always send them with my resume, but I don’t think they do much. Most of the interviews I have gotten they haven’t even acknowledged my cover letter so I think sending one is a hit or miss. At the end recruiters only look your past work experiences.
Not by a person. Or at least they rarely are. Now it's AI bots reading cover letters for keywords and phrases.
Depends on the company and hiring manager. Some use AI and others don’t read at all. I’ve never hired someone based on a cover letter
