A CPA with a master's degree may expect to earn an advertised median pay of $82.8K, which is $11.3K more than the government's reported median wage for accountants and auditors. Hope this helps!

This is super helpful. Thank you for this.

And clearly going for my CPA is actually on my list

Masters doesn’t mean much in accounting tbh. All about CPA or EA. Here someone with a masters makes the same as someone who doesn’t

It doesn't really matter. Unless the company requires a master's for promotion. There would be a raise for sure.

What is EA?

Enrolled Agent. This is relevant for tax only

3.5 Experience currently, no CPA; campus hire to a big 4

After 2.5 years at my first role at a Big 4 firm, burnt out and left as a senior
Since then I moved around two more times and just accepted a Tax Manager role that is paying 250% compared to what I made at my first job in big 4.
Probably going to stick around atleast few years at this role, but
GO FOR IT!!
I can answer some questions about the moves

Promotion & salary increase question.

Im a project manager with 8 years of experience & currently managing 3 major projects that bring in minimum 10 million in licensing each year (before adjustment).

Currently I manage 15 developers & BAs + external teams & roughly a 6 million $ budget in professional service fees. I’m putting in 55-60 hour weeks and my job feels more like program management than a project manager.

What should I really be asking for here in a raise & comp cycle?

Is it worth moving to MBB for a data science role with a slightly pay cut?

I am currently a Senior Consultant at D and got an offer from MBB for a Data Scientist (the most junior level I believe, so it’s like two grades down from I am now).

I heard people saying the brand name of MBB means a lot but not sure if it’s the case for data science too? Also feel a bit silly to move without pay rise...

Any thoughts would be very appreciated!

Hello everyone,

Need some assistance. I’ve been in audit for 3.5 years and want to switch over to consulting. Not sure if I want to stay at the firm I am currently at. What options do I have right now, in terms of consulting firms to switch to? Also, Is there other big 4 firms that pay as high as those consulting firms? Which firms are hiring? Need some help with this and what’s available right now. In either the NY or CA area.

Hi fishes!
I need your suggestions to understand how much compensation should I ask for when I switch.
My current CTC is 15 LPA which includes 10% variable
Experience 7.2 years.
Appraisal due in this month.
It may be around 15-20%
I have experience in multiple domains and currently I'm working in the technology vertical which is domain agnostic.
