What I've heard is that base would be in the mid 200s, and the bonus would kick it up to 300 grand. Of course it can vary depending on location, a director in Manhattan might start 30k higher than in Charlotte or Dallas.

Huh? Directors in FDD make like 140k in their first year. Senior directors low 200s.

Is the question about managing directors?

If so then yes bump up to close to 300k.

What practice? It boggles my mind that that is never included in these questions. It will vary a lot across audit, tax (and type of tax), and advisory (consulting vs deal)

Hello all, I need one advice.
I am working as SAP consultant for 3.6 years in same company now. I am going to make my first switch in one of the big 4 in SAP only.
The thing is that I don't really enjoy working in SAP. It was handed over to me when I joined my current WITCH company. Now I have decided to switch to Salesforce tech. For which I have already finished the Admin beginner part.(while staying in NP)
Please advise me if I am on the right track.
