Kpmg started fresh undergrads in MC at some locations with this pay scale a couple of years ago! Most of the folks who started at that time got pretty good raises (although still on the lower end) !
Anyhow K pays least among the big4 so this shouldn't be a surprise.

@OP, if you want to have a salary conversation, do it mid-year rather than at year-end. Also, make sure that you can back up your reasoning for higher pay.

Should also apply to other firms. Might get more in return then waiting until next year...

Well for instance salary is driven by a number of factors, years at the firm, years of experience, location, practice area, etc.

Please let me know if any of you would be comfortable doing so.

Thanks,
