But it’s F500 and it’s an m&a tax manager roll. One of my main questions is comp. will they have an idea on comp? I currently make 190k and if I leave would like to get to at least 250 considering my base+bonus is around 210k+

like

The recruiter should be able to answer any comp questions.

I'd be really surprised to see a manager level with that comp outside of FAANG, even your current salary would be a stretch. I assume you are close to SM at EY and in GBA/NYC?

I just interviewed for an M&A tax manager role that I turned down, they said the median they were targeting was 125k, Boston Just FYI.

Did 4 rounds of interviews. Last 2 with 2 partners at EY. Haven’t heard back even after 1 month. One partner even commented “you will be a good addition to the team”. Hiring manager gave EY email after her interview call with me.
Fast forward two weeks, no communication. Recruiting was surprised that I was still chasing for this position, month later. Got to know last week that hiring team was continuing to interview candidates. Should I drop the idea to get hired? EY hasn’t rejected me yet.
