I got a job offer as a Tax Associate at PwC. I want to negotiate the salary but the HR said he cant just increase my salary since that would be unfair to other associates. The only thing he can do is to ask to compensation team and if the team approve, every in-coming associates would get a salary increase. Is that true?

Yes. You can negotiate experienced hire salaries but not college hire salaries.

All incoming staff start off at the same salary, then as promotions come and you gain experience, salaries will start to differ

You can also negotiate your salary if you decide to switch firms and join them as an experienced hire

Experienced hires will not be completely on the cohort model to stay competitive with pay but will scale the same as the rest. Not saying I agree with the program but it is what it is.

Usually at big 4 campus hire salaries are set and non negotiable. I have seen rare cases if you have an offer from another firm they will match but wont negotiate without a competing offer. I would assume this is because unlike experienced hires that may have different work experience that would justify differences in pay for the most part all campus hires are coming in at the same level without any real world work experience in this field.

Coming up on one full year at an ID firm. Feeling overwhelmed with my experience so far. I’ve received minimal training/feedback unless it was on something I messed up. It feels like the expectations don’t align with my level of experience. I have a case load of 45-55 with very little oversight or involvement from partners. Turnover is extremely high, as I’m the second longest tenured associate in the office. Looking for some guidance on whether this is the norm or not. Compensation is low 80’s.
