If leaving big 4 audit as an S3, is it unrealistic to only pursue opportunities where the pay raise will be 20% or more? Especially with the manager promotions only 6 months away?

20% pay increase might be hard to come by but try for it! Problem is PA might have increased your pay enough to make that har to find.

If you wan out of busy season you'd better get on it asap!

Why not hold out

bc busy season lol

It’s difficult now that big 4 has increased a base salary quite a bit. It might be possible in terms of total compensation tho.

Only you can decide how much of a salary hike is worth getting out of PA for.

Yea I agree with the sentiment above. I left at S3 for a ~40% raise but in terms of what I would make at manager it was probably only about 15%. I think PA has closed the gap a bit, but i also think that industry is promoting faster as well. I am a year in and already got a meaningful bump so I am not worried about PA colleagues passing me up, plus i work way less hours

You should wait. I didn’t and it’s a big regret
