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

The increase contemplates total comp (salary + bonus + benefits) not just base. Equity is where people get the biggest gains.
Rising Star
Agree - bonus is typically much larger too. 20% or more in most industry roles at manager and above.
Move from b4 audit to another b4 advisory. Your raise could be 50/60%+
The other thing to remember, at least in my case, is you get a huge bump and better bonus, but you lose out on salary increases. For example, I got a 45% pay increase going to industry when I left EY. But in the corporate world I’m only getting like 3% raises unless I’m promoted.
So EY would have been better long term potential of earnings I.e. PPMD, but I couldn’t stomach the work life balance cost. So I’m perfectly content with the trade off
Pro
I wouldn't overthink the %s because some of these big % increases are really just driven by a below-market denominator (previous compensation).
Fair point, though I wouldn’t say my current pay is above market by any means (actually felt low compared to what others were saying they got after raises this year).
