Have an offer from Deloitte doing the exact same thing I do at KPMG for 45% more. Partners at KPMG have basically told me they can get close to matching but not until raises happen in October. Should I trust them or jump? Worried about having to build an internal network from scratch at Deloitte but also worried about getting screwed in October and getting like a 10% raise only. M2 if it matters. Thoughts?

Just leave if they wanted to pay you now they could

If you have great support in KPMG and you like people you work with, you should not change jobs for a few months of incremental raise. Establishing your network at Deloitte will be very hard. Try to get KPMG partners to put their promises in writing. The only reason I’d recommend switching if you have nothing to lose at KPMG.

likefunnysmarthelpful

I think the incremental comment was related to the money lost over the 3 months while waiting for KGMG to do their raise vs taking the new offer today. It's still good money, but small compared to the effort of starting a new network.

Discussion about KPMG actually holding up their end of the bargain are of course a different conversation.

Get that ish in writing.

Update if anyone needs this for the future: KPMG matched 100%. Im in NYC so being in a big market probably helped me a lot. My practice also has fairly high margins (not audit related) so that possibly could have contributed as well.

You have been getting screwed all this time and case is no different even in future. Partners do remember that you brought a competing offer to get a higher salary. May not hold well for you in the long run. You should have just left. D is much better than K

Reflect on the reason(s) you applied elsewhere as there must have been a reason that you did and went through the interview process. I question employers who offer more when there is a threat to leave, they should pay what you are worth before threatening to leave. And what does “we can get you close to what Deloitte offered in October mean?” What is close?

Jump. They can match, they have been matching immediately, this shows you more than the $$$. Go to D, half of my practice already has…

No brainer. Leave immediately. They have power to raise you tomorrow (and they should have raised you without an offer if market demands you’re underpaid) submit resignation tomorrow and don’t look back.

That and you will make far more at Deloitte over the long term. Plus “much better firm.”

I’m a very experienced veterinary assistant who has been doing this job for about 4 years in total however because of my skill level I would say I am more of an unlicensed technician. I’m looking for input on what I should ask for a raise.
