If you are currently employed and receive a higher offer from another big 4 in a similar service line can you negotiate your current salary to match the offer? And how would you go about doing this?

It happened to me (non big 4 but still competitor). I approached my boss and said I want to stay but this is too much money to turn down. If you can match I will call them and decline. Within 4 hours I had written confirmation that my salary was adjusted

I know several people at Accenture who have gotten a big 4 offer and gotten Accenture to match it. You just talk to your CC once you get it and go from there

A2, I'll bet it has a lot to do with the rumors/politics/size of the practice. Since these are typically partner conversations it depends if the partner tells anyone else that you did that before becoming a pariah...

Why would you become a pariah? At least youre giving your partner or accentures equivalent the chance to retain you. They probably aren't going to distribute that information. And if they do, who gives a fuck? You just got yourself a raise and demonstrated that you are marketable.

I just feel like they lose trust in you once they realize you’re willing to shop around (right or wrong).

Fair points. Does this hold true after a promo as well? I’ve considered going this route, but felt like it would be spitting in leaderships face

“Hey, thanks for this promotion but it wasn’t enough... want to match my offer from a competitor?”

Depends on the promotion. Anything under manager I think is fair game. And even manager is debatable but I'm not in a position to comment on it

It’s business nothing personal. Let them know you got another offer from competitor and considering. If they value your work, they will make an offer. Good test to see where you stand too.

Yes. Take the offer to your practice lead and give them a chance to match it if you are interested to stay. Nothing wrong with that.

Ey1 thank you, much appreciated!

I am a Manager at a big 4 international tax considering switch to M&A Tax in another big 4 or a prestigious firm International Tax group but with more structure work.

As for me, I was heavy on compliance until recent and wanted to focus on getting planning experience and management skills forward. I am a CPA and an attorney, but not a JD.
