I currently work as a Senior 3 at Deloitte within the audit and assurance practice. I received an offer from EY to join their Financial Accounting Advisory Group (FAAS) and they offered me $28K more than what I’m making now with a $5K sign on bonus. Is a transfer from Audit to FAAS worth it? I also asked group PIC and others if I could stay at Deloitte and transfer to their advisory group instead and am getting a message that they don’t want to do that.

I’m also leaving Deloitte audit for an EY FAAS position. It’s a 20% increase and it felt dumb to turn that down. I know I don’t see myself in audit long term anyways but let’s hope it all works out.

See you there! And yes I also tried to switch to Deloitte ARA. It would’ve been nice to stay at Deloitte but ARA pays basically the same as audit. I debated if it’s worth staying or leaving for a pay bump to do the same work. I decided to go for the pay bump. I hope there’s no catch to these salaries lol

Whether it's worth it depends on you and your goals. If you're not trying to pursue audit as a long term career, then go for it dawg.

Ask for more sign on bonus.

It’s a final offer unfortunately

Remember this could be a higher risk of getting laid off.

smart

@ D4, demand for advisory services is more varied than it is for audit, so headcount is likely to be less stable in response to that. Also when layoffs happen, newer hires are theoretically more likely to be on the chopping block.
For what it’s worth, I made the jump into ARA from audit and have not felt significant pressure or concern on this point. However, I have definitely seen people get laid off faster in ARA when they are not getting staffed vs audit folks who went unassigned for months

Are they offering a manager position?

Go for it. Would love to land a role in FAAS myself.

I say do it

Do you want to do FAAS or do you want to stay in audit?

Take the offer.

I'd take it if I were you! FAAS seems like a good place to be. I myself am trying to get out of audit as it seems like many others are as well. 5k is a little low on the sign on bonus so I'd negotiate that but otherwise sounds like a good offer

Hello all. My company just went through an acquisition and the company did some restructuring of job titles. When they did this we were all advised the company would be making sure our jobs pay aligned with the national average.
My issue with this is my job title went from a Technical Support Supervisor to a Customer Success Team Lead. I have voiced my concerns with management but have been advised job titles are semantics. In my eyes this is a demotion, and will affect how much my job is worth.
