Hello everyone. I’ve a burning question. So I have only spent 6 months at KPMG but I recently received on offer from another firm and they are offering me a pay that is $25,000 more than what I earn at KPMG and a sign on Bonus of $10,000. Any advise on how to approach this?

Tell them you need (whatever your salary + $40k is) and $15k signing to make a jump after only 6 months 🤷🏻‍♂️
What’s the downside? They say no, you stay and there will be other opportunities down the road. They say yes, you made some bank.

Hmmm...thank you.

Outside of this year KPMG is good about annual raises. My previous company before I joined from KPMG, I had a good salary but only 1 raise in 3 1/2 years. Joining KPMG, my salary has jumped from 75k to 105k in 3 years. Just make sure the new company does annual raises too... or else that 30% increase may get eaten up pretty quick.

Are you on a work visa?

Nope.

6 months is plenty of time to try something if it didn't work out, so I wouldn't worry about a blip on your resume IF the other job is more aligned with what you want to do

Noted. Thank you so much.

Get that bag...and leave 😎

If you got a signing bonus here, you’ll likely have to repay it if you leave within a year. At a minimum it will be prorated

I once asked a colleague at a radio company how much he's paid monthly, and he outright refused to tell me. In fact, he found it very odd that I asked. I later learned that he was making double my salary. I know it's not an employee's job to fix pay inequity by sharing their salary figures, but I'm still of the opinion that it helps uncover pay gaps. But do you think it's wise to do so at the risk of damaging your work environment or the whole thing backfiring on you? Thoughts are welcome.

The same boat? Stay safe!
