I don’t know about Switzerland but in many tax service lines JD gets paid the same as someone who has a masters in tax, unless they’re in M&A or a JD LLM. My friend said her big law entry level salary was almost 3x her staff 1 salary at big 4. This is for California tho

Big law pays what, $345K base + 90K bonus for a 5th year? If you come in as a manager at PwC, you'll probably be at 1/3 to 1/2 of that.

Any tips for countering the $130k offer for more using the other potential offer while not risking a complete withdrawal of the current offer? I’ve never been in a position to bargain my starting salary so this is all very new to me.
