I have an offer to leave for another Big 4 firm. Leaving for various reasons. I don’t want to leave until I get my bonus for passing the CPA exam. 1. Can I get my bonus even though I’m leaving the firm? 2. Is there a penalty if I leave the firm after I get the bonus? 3. When should I turn in my 2 weeks notice? I heard they let you go on the spot if you leave for another Big4. Thank you in advance.

Maybe try to work in the bonus at the new firm

PwC does not require you to stay after getting your bonus. I know someone who put it his two weeks so that his last day was the same day he got paid out

like

From what I’ve seen I can confirm this, the language PwC uses for the cpa bonus only says that you won’t be paid if you put in a leave notice before the bonus is paid

Not sure about PwC but at EY we have to stay for a year (?) after getting our CPA bonus or we have to pay it back

like

I would think the new firm would give you a bonus for cpa. I know Deloitte would give you $5k.

Ya I believe there is a clawback for all CPA bonuses/reimbursements for a year at the Big 4. Agree who with whoever else said to find out if you can get a CPA bonus or negotiate to get a sign on bonus if you dont.

Yeah I’m leaving PwC for Deloitte. The bonus at Deloitte is like 3k since I’m coming on as an senior assistant not a new associate

Was it a pretty good raise? Deloitte has been reaching out a lot and I’m just curious...

I don’t think anyone’s answered #3 but for PwC if you leave for another Big4 they make you turn everything in right there and then, no two week period

Yes wait. Especially at senior level you’ll have a max of 3 days.

Want to get a sense check. Typical English firm salaries in London are about 70% Cravath (unless you're at one of the US firms that benchmarks to Cravath scale offices). 2PQE is around 165k USD + 30k bonus assuming 1800 billables. So comparing at a firm where you roughly bill 1900-2000 a year, you lose out, but if you bill 2200+, that's comparable?

Thinking aloud here - if you can find that 2000-billing firm, no sense staying in that payscale unless you have a shot at equity?
