10-12% was my 'EY-adjusted' expectation, so met my expectations but didn't really live up to the hype IMO. Really hoping this revisit to high performer pay structure bears fruit, because the incentive structure isn't all that extraordinary.

What changes are they talking about making to better compensate high performers? I’ve only heard it discussed in vague terms

Meh. Definitely lower than I expected seeing as I was told of some senior progress raises around 15-20% pre-COVID.

I execute tasks from two investment advisors and two financial planners - they make the decisions of what should happen & I make it happen.

Received an offer as Engagement Director from Salesforce (CSG, pre sales, L9). Great benefits package, 40% increase in total comp and better WLB.

I do love the people in my practice and current client, but career trajectory has stalled after taking parental leave earlier this year and (yet another) change in leadership.

Realistically, making to Director is 2-3 years away and will require sacrificing time with my family that I am not prepared to give up.

Should I stay or should I go?

PwC 🐠, I interviewed with the firm about 6 months ago for a Senior Associate position on the forensics team.

I was wondering if the review course “CPE Self Study Course” for the CFF was enough preparation to study and pass the CFF exam. The CFE review course was enough and like if you get a question wrong it explains it well so that when it comes up in a different way in the real exam you can still get it. But when I saw the outline for the CFF material and there seems to be a lot of topics so I was wondering if the review course was sufficient considering this exam is also multiple choice. Thanks!
