During compensation discussions, when your partner shows your salary compared to the market, are you usually above market? Anyone know how accurate this data is? Do you feel that you’re paid fairly?

Leadership in our group explained this to us at some point because most were pissed about comp, but they listed all of the firms they compare to, and it’s wayyyyyyyy more than just big 4, or even just the national firms. There were like 30 firms on there IIRC. Just seemed really ridiculous to me that they were painting small-mid size firms as “competitors” when PwC would never consider them as such.

Don't small-mid size firms typically pay more to compete with the big4 names? Maybe not much, but coming out of college, I was offered about 5k more from these firms.

They had me under market my first year, explanation was lack of experience.

I’ve been through one CRT and I was showing above average for my market post-raise. Never thought to second guess it. I got a higher raise than most of my peers so I’d say it seems right? Don’t have a lot of data to work with.

They compare to other PA firms. Usually other B4. So its skewed in that way.

Received an offer at 300k/year and a Google offer at 200k/year.
I wanted Google since I started the whole interview process, but I am now not sure given the salary difference.

The position at Google is more junior and the team is just being formed, which involves more risk. However, I like the team at the other company.

The difference in salary is really considerable to push me to rethink this. Is it worth it? Can you share your experiences of when you accepted a lower job offer and why?

Hi all,
Wanted to know the range of salary for consultant specialist role? Yoe 10+

I was given a tentative offer for a job at a government hospital. The salary they are offering is lower than what I'm making now. For government jobs with a defined GS level salary on the job posting, do they have a wiggle room for salary negotiations?

Does anyone have a tool/ site that calculates what the offer would need to be to leave a current role, all things considered? Of course, it’s anything more than you’re making now, but I’m looking for something that accounts for LTE, the hassle, risk, etc.

Ever since I was a student I’ve always found the accounting jokes mildly humorous, and the weird “selling” personas kind of off-putting.

Would you hang out with management at your firm if you met them as a stranger? I always find it weird when you see that person who kisses partner butt, just to get a seat at an awkward dinner where the partner interrogates you about work stuff.

There are interesting people at work, but I feel like they are in the minority.
