So you actually receive 6k (assumption). But if you leave the company you pay back 10k no? How do you get the 4k back?

Is $50k salary low for a licensed advisor

I moved cities and my company is giving me 12% decrease in my salary. My current salary is within my new cities range, and I am definitely not paid market rate to begin with…also for context I have always been a high performer, have many relevant certifications, and am involved with initiatives outside my billable work

I’m not interested in accepting a decrease this large. What happens if you don’t accept it? Do you see if they come back with something more reasonable or will they fire you?

EY v/s GT...
Whom would you choose and why?
Can someone please elaborate on amount of workload, policies, work culture and the busy season.

Thanks

Don't assume all of your coworkers are making about the same. Many years ago, I was working as a tax staff making $60,000 at a small CPA office in NYC. There was another tax staff that I shared an office with that was only making $40,000. How I knew? He accidentally dropped his paystub on his way out one Friday and was shocked to see how much less she was making. We were both staff level. I had more experience but still shameful that 2 staff levels had such a huge wage gap. I never told her.
