If you moved from MM to Big 4, especially when you had a generally good team/WLB at MM, would you mind sharing why? My comp is below market but I wonder if that should be the only deciding factor and am afraid of building my internal network/goodwill/brand again. I guess I’m looking for validation through others’ experience and whether it has worked out for you.

I think you can discuss this with your boss that you want a raise. Just name your number and if you’re good, I’d hope they’d make it happen.

Don’t say “around x or something”. Just say the number.

If they can’t make it happen, just move on - no hard feelings

I think it depends on where in the MM you’re leaving from to gauge how big of an impact it’ll be, but I went to Big four and glad I’m did. Lateraled at the same position but I’m making more, and have have better/more dms from recruiter because of it even though I’ve been here for less time than I spent in MM.

I think if you don’t want to be in FDD for the long haul, moving to big four is worth the name on the resume for exits.

But I think it’s better to stay with current firm and ask for more first, especially if interested in a career in PA for the reasons you mention. Lateral move may set you back - may get more upon transfer but slower upward mobility. I’ve seen with former colleagues (who may not have been the strongest).

For some reason big 4 pays less than MM. KPMG offering 110-120k as senior

If we paid more how would our partners be able to afford new hardwood floors in their Lake / beach houses though…?

Is it worth more hours, harder work and potentially lower pay though?

I accepted a $115K base salary, 13% bonus, 10k sign on bonus (scientist supervisor) job and two weeks later, got a $135K base, 17% bonus, and 15K sign on bonus (Senior scientist role) offer from another company. Should I accept the new offer ? How do I tell the previous company about this? Also, I’ve already negotiated with the first company and the $115K base is the negotiated salary. I really do not prefer one company over the other. They’re both great! I’m very confused here. TIA🙏

I’m a second year associate at a small, but reputable firm. My caseload is almost entirely made up of clients who were referred to one of the partners but the partners are too busy so I end up taking the case. The clients are told up front that an associate, rather than a partner will be taking his/her case. I’ve run into an issue a couple of times where the client doubts my advice because I am only 2 years in. Has anyone else experienced this? How do I address the fact that I’m only 2 years in?
