Pwc salary structure? Benefits
Urgent
Hi All, I am about to have salary discussion for an opportunity with Credit Suisse. Can you please let me know what is the max salary that can be offered to 11 YOE Java developer joining in AVP position? Do they offer VP position to 11 YOE by any chance? Also how is the current situation within CS considering all the financial turmoil and layoff news? Will it be a wise decision to move to CS from Barclays at this point of time?

If you don’t think public accounting is a good fit then yes. However, it might just do your bosses. What size firm are you at. Top 10 or top 500?
My first accounting job was at a top 10 firm, but I was laid off from there. My second role was at a small firm, where they said the reason for my departure was performance-related. I’m now trying to move into industry, but I haven’t been getting any interviews so far.
Rising Star
Industry roles will depend on what your PA experience encompassed. Did you do A&A, Tax, both? How many years? That matters for which level of industry role you would be a fit for and should focus on for your search.
At lower experience levels some industry roles may be comparable in pay but likely will be lower although with better hours.
I have three years of tax experience but no experience in industry roles. I am trying to transition into industry, but I am not getting any interviews so far.
What feedback did you get from the two firms?
I started at a top 10 accounting firm, where I was laid off. My second role at a small firm ended with performance being cited as the reason. I have three years of tax experience, no industry experience, and I’m trying to transition into industry but haven’t been getting interviews.
