I could definitely use some advice on salary and negotiation. Deloitte offered me $80K for audit and EY offered $85K for tech-risk consulting. I’m surprised only because I thought consulting paid significantly higher than audit. Both the positions are based out of NYC. I’m a grad student also halfway through my CPA. I’m not trying to sound unsatisfied but I’m just curious about room for negotiation with EY tech consulting?

Tech risk is mot “consulting”

like

Ya let’s be clear here EYs “consulting” practice isn’t their traditional consulting practice it’s called strategy and transactions and EYP is the strategy consulting group there and they get paid

Tech risk is basically audit bro, it’s not really tech consulting. don’t fall for it! If I were you, I would take the 80k and do audit.

80k is the highest audit starting salary I’ve heard of so congrats

Come to EY. We are way more nurturing to new professionals. Tech risk isn't consulting btw. It's more audit.

Yeah this is audit vs IT audit. Companies are trying to sugar coat what jobs really are lol (PwC calling audit “trust solutions” now lol). I’d argue you rather be in audit at Deloitte. Just put your 1.5 years/2 years in and move on.

Tech Risk consulting is IT audit. Most people hate IT Audit but I did two rotations in it and didn't find it any more boring that regular audit. Based on my experience, IT audit works fewer hours and gets paid more.

Financial audit vs IT/Systems Audit. I started out in IT audit and it’s extremely dry work but I believe the work hours are significantly less than financial audit (at least from my experience). In most firms, IT audit sits within consulting or advisory while audit sits under audit/assurance. If you decide to accept the IT audit job and network right, you can definitely move to other consulting areas you’re interested in within a short period of time. I was able to move from IT audit to Data Analytics after my first IT audit engagement. However, it’s extremely difficult to move from financial audit to consulting since they’re separate services.

Tech-risk consulting isn't consulting. It is IT Audit. I'd argue it is worse. You're like the assistant of an auditor. After EY splits, IT Audit Consulting folks will actually stay with EY. They will not be part of the Consulting NewCo. Accept Deloitte tomorrow.

You a grad student. Top school? GPA? YOE? Any actual experience? Internship? Many things factor into the comp structure. And just because it is consulting, does not necessary mean high comp. It depends on the type of consulting you do. Strategy consulting pays high in many B4 and T2 firms.

Yep this is all true. If you have no real full time work experience I’d say that the offers you’ve described are pretty good ones, OP

And just advice for negotiations for your next job - know the salary range of the position you’re interviewing for and ask at the upper end of the range, if you feel you can justify it. This is much harder to do when you’re starting out in your career since you have much less leverage, but this is the most effective way to negotiate today since employers can’t verify an applicant’s salary history in most states
