Going to meet a partner and counselor before the round table. I was told by my seniors that I’m a high performer. Any advice on comp negotiation from staff 2 to senior?

The advice is that it’s not much of a negotiation at that level.

You could be promoted after 2 years at pwc even though the standard is 3. But agreed with EY1, there’s no negotiating at that level.

Was promoted from A2-S1 and got a 15% pay bump. Echoing what others have said; You’re not going to be able to negotiate really at this level. Apparently there are bands and your pay will be raised to be within, but expect it at the lower end since you’re coming from an A2 salary rather than A3 (seems backwards but since it’s % based a higher PY salary gives you a higher S1 salary). That being said after your first year as a senior you’ll get a larger bonus bc the senior bonus pool %s are higher than associates.

like

Another thing to keep in mind is that PWC promotes people after three years and other firms usually after two, this will have an impact on your raise as well.

The LA office, in tax at least, promote people in 2 years. The only exceptions are ITS which is 3 years (a lot of ITS people in my start class jumped to another big 4 to get promoted in 2)

Need a sanity check here.

When I joined my current company, we were on a quarterly bonus structure with guaranteed payouts each quarter. This was, in fact, how the recruiter said he could meet my salary request.

The company just announced we are moving to annual payouts only, with no payments for 2023 until May 2024. There are no raises happening.

This amounts to 12% less money in my pocket in 2023 plus inflation.

Is this standard, or should I be looking for opportunities elsewhere?

Has anyone had any luck with in getting a specific answer on what licensing is required for specific “edge” features (e.g. shared HCM or supplier model for FIN. How far into either can you go?).

Just got a “Sheraton Vacations” special offer to basically get 5 nights at a Florida property for $250.

I read the fine print and other than a need to be flexible in terms of when you book, it doesn’t seem like there is a catch.

Anyone familiar with this “promotion” and what the downside might be? Or are they just looking to drive revenue to their other areas (restaurants, spa, etc) with a cheap room?
