I got an offer from a Big 4 firm but the pay is lower than I expected. The recruiter says the salary is the same for everyone and can’t be changed. Is that true or do most people ask for more?

If it is entry level the pay is the same for everyone.

Yes it is entry level, so that would explain it

Doesn’t hurt to ask

Apparently entry level roles are all the same pay unfortunately

What position was it for? It is true they cap entry level but if not entry level then you should be able to negotiate

It's entry level so that would make sense

If this is not what you ate looking for turn down and move on. They will likely not negotiate. Market is full of Cpas

Out of curiosity. How would a company view a potential candidate who has a period of unemployment to study for the CPA. I am considering to start studying for the exam but I know I would need to leave my employer in order to give 110%. I am contemplating the idea of at least passing one part while employed. Then leaving my employer to study FAR. I am considering to leave my current employer anyways, so it’s more of how my future employer would view that lapse.
