Hey what about us 🖐?

We may not be major in size, but we are in pay.

If you include benefits the big firms will lag. They tend to be more cash comp focused. Some people also see work life as a benefit. So it may be worth more to work 50 hours a week and earn a salary of $100K than to work 70 hours and earn $115K.

I think the difference in hrs sounds close, but the pay gap is much greater than 15%.

I know you didn’t ask but capgemini would be last

Cap1, what business unit are you in? Most I know still get bonuses, but A/B bands don’t get bonuses. I agree that our pay and raises can’t compete with the others mentioned though.

Our pay increases are fastest because we have direct out of undergrad -> EM...you could make partner before 30 if you wanted. Our perks are worse than BCGs though (1st class flights for them oh any flight >1 hr, our is >3.5 hrs). Food wise we get $100 a day while I’ve heard there is no limit really for them

I would recommend steering away from Grant Thornton, pay is below market value and culture has changed significantly, it's like you have to work like the big 4 without the added benefits.
