I'm a senior manager in m&a...$225k salary in HCOL. I'm only around 1200 charge hours a year and this would be up significantly if I move to big4. What do you think I can get?

Not PWC, but no. As I understand it, Director is an intermediate step for people they have identified as future partners.

With prior m&a experience? I would say close to 130-140k for B4. Context: currently S1 CPA with no prior experience making 120k HCOL. Expecting to negotiate for midyear raise about 10% based on internal discussions.

Yeah I’d say the higher end of that if NYC. If not it may be more of the 125-130

We’re on the same page now. I agree with your take
