I am going into my second year as a tax senior associate. Just got off the phone with a recruiter from industry discussing their current tax openings. At RSM, we will likely be finding out our raises in the next week or two. If my estimate of my raise is correct, the industry position will be about $5k more. Is this worth it to leave public accounting?

Not for 5k. As a senior you should be getting 15 to 30% bump.

Thanks, good to know. I was expecting more around 10%, so I’ll see what happens I suppose

In public accounting you will get 8% raises per year, sometimes more…. Industry won’t be that. So you’d better get ahead while you can…if you’re leaving public.

Strictly money wise, that's a pretty low raise from public to industry. Remember you only get to leave public most likely once, so you want to capitalize on that raise. You likely won't be seeing the high raises in public accounting in industry. But you should also consider the other factors of a move and weight them accordingly (work-life balance, less hours, less stress, easier work).

Hi Fishes,

Need some suggestions from everyone. I have 4.5 years experience and I was working as contractor in ZS and my CTC in parent company was 7 Lakhs.

ZS were willing to offer me FTE as ZS but at a compensation of meagre 8.5 Lakhs. I tried negotiating but they sticked with this.

How come ZS do that? Why can't they pay more as they generally pay 15+ for 4.5 years experience.

Tax Senior here. I’m well liked around the office, I put in the hours and work hard, I haven’t had any dumpster fire projects, but I am a mediocre performer compared to my peers (not as strong project management, communication, not as confident).
