If you are a top performer, you can be at spitting distance from 200k as a sm1

It’s common for a 3rd year SM at the large markets like Bayarea and NYC. True for both Audit and Tax. Specialist tax group like M&A, international tax should be more. Some non big 4 firms offer that at Bayarea but the cost of living is also much higher

Not even SM 5 or 6 make close to 200k in non-FSO audit, even high COL location

Aiming to hit 200k by SM2. So, checking if i am day dreaming...

Advisory PI you can get there as SM 2-3. For Risk Assurance, Internal Audit and Assurance it could take up to SM 4-6.

In tax in NYC, SMs typically are generally in a 135-235k band. Depends on what you started at, whether you lateralled into the Firm and negotiated a good bump, etc. So put in the time and be patient. You definitely can hit $200 as a SM.

I don’t think that is an option for senior managers in Audit, Risk Tax non-speciality groups. Outside of maybe NY, SF or maybe Chicago, heard the cap is around 190. At that point they will either ‘friend of the firm’ you or promote you. I would love to be wrong here though...

Strategy will get you there as first year SM

Hi 👋🏻 Would love some support here - looking to build out a bonus structure for a Sales Engagement Mgr role - it isn't a typical sales role - this person will be closing deals but not necessarily securing leads. If they will be scoring leads, it will be organic via conferences, partnerships. Of course, we want to encourage and incentivize this person. Potentially giving then an extra 20-50k bonus potential. How do I build this out? Any suggestions or examples would be super helpful. Thank you!!
