I am from the US (NYC) and currently make $340k a year as an experienced Director. I am applying for a position in London and realize I will be taking a significant paycut (aiming for £165k if they even offer this). Applying for a position with Ernst & Young UK. Can someone let be know what benefits beyond the base salary I can/should expect?

Also, is it common for big4 to offer sign on bonuses? If yes, what's the range for this?

Unlikely, but at director level, with relevant experience that could happen just it won’t be anything magical. Typical perks could include pension contribution match ~10%, private health insurance, sometimes Corp. car allowance (less typical for London offices )

I feel like I am very naive and cannot read between the lines, so I can’t tell if someone is trying to fuck me over or not.

Does anyone else feel similarly? If so, how have you dealt with it?

Let's say I can't get a product or marketing job in tech, but I could get in via sales or customer success. Does working in those roles pigeonhole you, or is it easy to switch later? If you take a job as a customer success mgr for ads, or as a partnership mgr for learning solutions for industry X, are you going to get stuck in those products (ads, learning solutions), roles (CS, sales/partnerships), or target industry (X)?
