For those who exited from a Big 4 at manager, what was your salary increase %? I can’t survive AWM much longer and planning on leaving as soon as I get my promo milestone bonus next April.

I spent two years as an associate and another two at senior, have my CPA but no master’s.

Not sure how much industry cares about a master’s degree.

I was. Welcome to getting promoted in a COVID year and as an early promote. Makes it easy to get a sweet raise on the outside.

I've only heard bad things about PwC's AWM group. What do they do and why is it so horrible?

As a newbie associate, I worked 85-95+ hours/week for the 9/15 deadline.

The hours have gotten worse since then, but not because I moved up. The associates and seniors below me now were also hitting 105 hours some weeks this year.

I’m in SALT-AWM specifically, so state and local tax for Asset and Wealth Management. Lots and lots of state returns and small consulting projects for huge investment bank type firms.

And we still have a 10/15 deadline as well as spring busy season which are “lighter” at 70ish hours a week.

Any wholesale property marketing brokers here? I’ve been feeling kind of overworked & kind of exploited lately… mostly due to my people pleasing personality and not being able to say no.

On top of marketing, I also have to service a few larger accounts that are difficult. My salary is in the $70k range and I feel it’s a bit on the low end…

How hard is everyone pushing their corporate clients to authorize nonresident assignees whose only 2020 US compensation was the value of their 2019 tax preparation?
My clients are pushing back on it this year, and I can't say I blame them. If I were in their shoes, I'd rather take the risk of not filing than the expense of filing again. From my own point of view, I don't really want to spend my time on such returns, either, even if the revenue and easy return are nice.

Is it possible to ask for too high of a salary during an interview?

I had an interview end early because they couldn't match my salary ask despite me being a "perfect candidate" (their words). The range was the same/lower than what I currently make, and their role was for a more senior position. I gave a highball range but I figured there would be some negotiating. Maybe that company just isn't the right fit for me, but I'm just thrown off by how quickly the call ended after that.
