I don’t understand what’s the point of trying so hard at EY when you’re told during your comp talk that you’re “in line with your peers” when you’ve done two busy seasons and much more ...

Depends on what your trying hard involves? Did it add value to the team and client? Maybe your peers are able to add the same value without trying as hard?

Working a busy season has never been an indicator of high performance. At the staff 1 level who really cares anyways

Any suggestions for improving perception and gaining popularity? I’m well known on the engagement teams I’m on, and I’ve received praise from the engagement partner on multiple occasions for my large role in driving their initiatives to increase audit efficiency, improve client insights, etc

Let’s start with the basics, what level are you? I have to ask as 2 busy seasons could mean 1 year in tax (January and August busy seasons) or just 2 years. Either way, if you are a staff level I wouldn’t expect much difference in your pay until senior. Even then, if you are on the normal progression I don’t think it would vary wildly. Try pushing to skip levels/early promo if you are that good.

Oh wow if you’re staff 1, I don’t think it’ll be any different

@EY1 not that i can see unfortunately

1 year, assurance, two different year ends, was told on the team level that I had high performance and distinguished myself but that didn’t translate into the firm-wide review/compensation

Maybe try to work a bit less and then you’ll feel like you’re in line with your peers?

Why is education deemed more valuable on a pay scale than experience? Employers will pay someone with a degree and no experience a greater salary, than someone who has exhibited the experience. Understanding that the degreed person committed to school and finished, yet that doesn't diminish what the not degreed has committed to and accomplished in their careers. This has to stop!

My remit quadrupled+ in a recent re-org with no increase in pay/promotion, my new director is new to the company and was zero help, and I was passed over for recent promotion during the comp cycle. The new director essentially began shutting me down any time I ask for clarity in my career progression. Now they have taken credit for the project I’ve been building over the past year+ without giving me props whatsoever to higher ups. What is the best plan of action here?
