Friendly reminder that pwc cut new hire salaries by 10% in my office at the start of Covid. So the “22%” raise I’m getting is artificially inflated by the extremely low starting base amount.

So its 10% to make you whole and another 12% for annual raise. 12% is fairly standard. Maybe a bit on higher side. Not sure what you are complaining about
