How much of a pay cut would I be looking at if I switch paths from audit/financial accounting over to tax?

Looking to switch to tax but I assume I’ll have to be a tax associate for a while. Current salary is 98k looking at SLC market

Depends on the firm I’d assume around 80-90k

This is reasonable but you may even start as a new senior. If you were to do a rotation at your current firm, you wouldn’t get demoted.

What kind of firm are you looking for? I'm also in SLC and am open to talking more if you want to DM me. I have connections at a few firms, depending on what you're interested in.

Can anyone share the salary breakup for HSBC for 12LPA or any other package. I have HR round to be scheduled in next week. Need screenshot to understand the breakup, so that I can negotiate based on the basic and Variable pay.

My partner got a City of Toronto offer. Salary band is 104-121k. HR asked for his expectations and he said 115k. HR came back with a 106k offer stating nobody on the team makes that much so they cant offer it. Also said she is unsure if there is any wiggle room if any at all. I’ve looked at everyone on the team with the same titles salary on the sunshine list and the lowest I see is 121k. I assume there is an OT component of some sort but also can’t confirm. Thoughts? /negotiating advice?
