I received a verbal offer that included only the base salary and made no mention of PTO, 401k matching, bonus structure, or anything else. What's the best way to request all the details without being rude? I need this information to compare it to my current position.

It isn’t rude to ask for those details—it’s actually pretty standard. I would just inquire about the rest of the benefits package so you have all the information to fully weigh your options. You could say something like, “Can you tell me about the rest of the benefits package so I can compare it to my current role?”—or something to that effect.

You can ask about what the company benefits include (like PTO, 401k, medical/dental coverage, bonus, etc) , and say that you would like this info so you can compare it to your current package.

If your tone is rude, than that is being rude. but asking about company benefits isn't rude if you keep it professional.

Does it necessarily have to be another Big4?

Would be really helpful if someone who has seen both sides could elaborate in terms of difference in culture, pay, work life balance, etc.

Does anyone run a business in addition to their firm? I’m a solo and I’m doing pretty well with about 60-70 billable hours a month. Though that leaves a lot of downtime. Curious if anyone has any second businesses that require about 20 hours a week. Not looking for passive income or franchise ideas though.

Higher ups decided instead to make a “new role” (not PM), that has no analog in the company and is hard to price via Glassdoor, etc. I feel like this is to limit my promotion salary to something like 10% from where it currently is. Is there anything I can do? FWIW: I have a PhD from top 5 program and am working in that field. Thanks!
