For those who are jumping to another Big4, or know someone who has and are interviewing with all the Big4, who is paying the best right now? I’ve referred friends to PwC, but they are getting outbid by kpmg for similar positions by like $25k a year. Anyone else seeing this?

KPMG is paying the most, Deloitte and apparently EY are paying the least, like below current salary least.

I had offers from all 4. KPMG and Deloitte was the lowest. EY and PwC were the highest (by 20k for base) all 4 offered 15-20k for sign on bonus. I was able to choose where I wanted to go though because the one I preferred wasn’t the highest but they matched the highest offer.

Recognize that none of this is across the board. Who is paying most differs by city, by practice, and yeah by whether they're bringing in talent from outside

That can’t be right. KPMG paying the most?!

Kpmg has to pay the most. Pretty sure they ha e highest starting salaries too. They gotta do something to attract talent. Makes sense.

Wouldn’t this vary by market, position, and the individual candidates? Seems like we’re speaking in absolutes when the context is entirely relative and specific.

Am I understanding utilization rate correctly? It’s chargeable time over total time? Charged 40 hours and had 10 hours non-charge so my utilization is 80%? If so, wouldn’t it benefit me to understate non-charge hours so my utilization is higher since they only really care about chargeable time anyways? Charge 40 hours still but only put 5 hours non-charge for utilization to be 89% instead of 80%? Or am I misunderstanding how utilization works?

Compliance question here, I have always thought of the SALT deduction on the fed return as a perm item & have treated as such in such sch M-3. I see that some people put it as a temp on sch M-3. What is the justification for treating it as a temp on the M-3. You don’t set up a deferred on the def RF for the state tax deduct & it is also a rate impacting item (I know that some temps can be rate impacting). But this all leaves me to side with perm. Does anyone know the logic behind temp treatment?
