I was on a partner/manager call today and they were discussing the “high” turnover at the senior and experienced associate level. What was shocking is that while ours is about double normal, evidently we are 3 out of 4 in turnover meaning 2 of the Big 4 are even higher.

Deloitte has to be #1 in turn over. 40% of our India practice in one tax service line quit in March and April.

Wow, that’s crazy

S3, here and my raise and bonus was a big joke. I'm absolutely insulted. All leadership did was talk about it and it's laughable. My raise wasn't even close to pre covid. Bonus was a bit higher but doesn't make up for the short fall. I am really struggling to stay.

Anecdotally this is absolutely true. Most people have colleagues at our competitors and have some sense of what is happening across the industry.

Senior associate is a good time to exit to industry because you can easily get a pay bump and have room for upward mobility without being too expensive for the employer. We have clients literally asking us on calls if we know anyone they can hire right now.

Pwc leadership patted themselves on the back thinking they did a great job in raises when they screwed all the high performers and gave great raises to mediocre performers

I guess I’m a high performer, but the last year was underwhelming. I think it’s a bit of a trick to buy into the idea the firm paid the wrong people more. In general it was an extremely strong year for the firm and many people truly had to suck it up to get us through this. I didn’t feel the love but I’m holding out some hope there will be dividends next year. If not it will be hard not to consider what else is out there.

Wild guess, but I’ll say EY and KPMG
