Have an offer from Deloitte ARA and PwC CMAAS. Not sure which to pick between the two, but details as follows:

Deloitte: Base $110K, Sign-on $15K
PwC: Base $101K, Sign-on $10K

I am leaning more towards PwC as the entire interview process was great. Deloitte dragged their feet but came in strong with offer since I had PwC on hand already. Prior to D offer, I had negotiated with PWC

Looking to see if anyone has pros and cons for both from their personal experience within each group. TIA.

How many YOE? Both offers seem great! Congratulations!

If all else equal, HR dragging feet is not really going to ever affect you again, and if you got along with people at D, that plus the money is worth it.

However, if you think PwC is a better fit, 9k (ignoring sign on) isn’t end of the world imo. I would rather enjoy my work/coworkers than get paid marginally better.

We have a two week close at my current job. They are in manufacturing so the plants have a week to close and then corporate accounting can close. For two weeks out of every month, you do the same thing over and over again. PTO won't get approved during that time either, unless its only for a day or two.

I kept it entertaining by optimizing all aspects of my job which freed up my time for some ad-hoc projects (ERP implementation stuff) and that was fun, but that has died off.

Not sure about CMAAS but I can offer what I know about Deloitte ARA. As far as I understand, ARA is under Audit and Assurance at Deloitte. That means there’s a possibility that you’ll be pulled to assist an audit if there’re not many ARA projects going on and audit teams are drowning. The group is quite new and for now, targets smaller projects. That being said, because it’s new, there’s def growth potentials and opportunities for you to involve in growing the business and make it to PPMD if that’s your goal.

The getting audit work was in the early days of the accounting advisory groups, I think. Now that they are more established and clearly divided from audit, they only do advisory work

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?
