How come PwC has “promotion day” literally consists of drinking all day and EY does not? Asking for a friend here

I don't know why not. I'm not religious or practicing sobriety, but the longer I have been in my career the happier I am the firm doesn't intentionally promote a drinking culture. I'll probably get some hate over that.

like

It started as an afternoon celebration with some fun activity not just drinking.

In our market they then added a lunch for the promotes and some teams added after happy hours. The non promotes got bored and started the loser lunch for all those hanging around the office but not invited to the promote lunch.

Lastly someone decide partners get a morning champagne toast so why not new seniors and managers.

By the way, today is “promotion day” at PwC, the day they are announced. The drinking will commence at 0930.

My office has a promotion party right after connect day. Volunteer in the morning, booze in the afternoon.

We’re volunteering all morning. Festivities start at 3pm. I do like the “celebrate by giving back”. I like the yearly specialty drink even more ;)

We love the sauce EY2. The firm does not ‘promote’ it anymore but that is simply to line the pockets even further for our greedy partners. SMH

That is probably the only thing I give PwC over EY when I made the switch, EY does not celebrate promotions as well as PwC does.

Hi all. I am trying to determine if I am being compensated fairly. I am a tax manager (about to start my second year as manager) and have been with EY since staff 1. I was promoted to manager in June 2020 (during covid) and received a 7.5% raise. The class above me has mentioned they received much higher raises during their promotion years. My base salary is now approx. 97K. Any insights would be extremely helpful. Thanks!

I'm an accounts receivable expert with 8+ yrs of experience. I started with 96k per annum in 2014, and have worked with 4 different MNCs since then. Currently I'm getting approx 9Lpa, and it feels like I'm pretty much stuck here. Switching jobs increases the pay scale, while staying for a while reflects stability.

When I look at the other member's comments here, it seems majority of folks are earning 20-30Lpa or even more.

Any suggestions from mature audience to achieve a big pay raise.

I was promoted to manager in Jan but received an offer with a 35% salary increase and much cheaper health insurance outside the firm. I am 85% sure I’ll take the offer, but wanted to see if anyone could think of acting I may be missing out on by leaving? FYI my inflation increase was larger than my promotion increase and my student loan payments also were stopped since I’m no longer an SA. I think what is holding me back is my guilt for my immediate team but just want to check.

Hi all! I work at a nonprofit and am looking to leave the organization. As I browse available positions in my area, I’m realizing there is a LOT of crossover between my current org and others, for example shared board members, folks who are on our board and employed at one of the institutions I’m interested in, etc.. Is there a way to say “my current org doesn’t know I’m looking, so please treat my interest with discretion” that doesn’t raise red flags? Thanks!
