Have FDD salaries shifted up in a similar way as audit? Just as a reference point, at EY the new S1’s in San Francisco are making between $92-98k. I’ve always heard FDD is at least 20% higher than audit. So are S1’s in SF now making 110-120k?

Dude, I’m hoping so. All I know is EY Bay Area is paying big bucks this year. I’ve been underpaid for so long that I’m considering switching just to not screw up my future earnings trajectory (folks we hired during the pandemic are out earning me). I’d def guess the S1 are 120k, at least. Deloitte and EY have been calling me so much this year that I might return their calls if KPMG don’t match…

A bunch of the newly promoted audit seniors here have transferred to FDD and they say the FDD salary is still substantially better than before. High 70s for audit S1 VS low 90s for FDD S1

I wouldn’t say audit salaries have adjusted upwards… Deloitte has not received a significant bump by any means. raises were on par with other years

This is true but I attribute this mostly to Deloitte being the first of the big 4 to announce raises due to their FY end. EY and PwC had very significant adjustments and all expectations are that KPMG will be the same. I’ve heard Deloitte folks aren’t happy after hearing the competition’s numbers

Currently a staff 2 in EY FSO audit. Pay is 81K. Senior from team jumped to another Big 4 in LA FDD and I think got 109k. So I’m assuming SF is around 120K.

Ohh I’m in SF

Hey Fishes,
Been working at D India as a Manager (Not USI) for past few months.
Ask me anything as there are very few reviews available online.
To clear few misconceptions
1. Global projects are available here
2. They've started mentioning Bonus, Gratuity amount etc in offer letter
3. Work life balance depends on Project and managers you work with
4. Inside opportunities if you're the creamy layer
5. PF amount in offer letter is the total deduction and not just company's contri
