I’m a consulting manager at PwC UK with 5 years at the firm, 1.5 years as manager, scored a 2 in the summer but currently sitting near the bottom of the pay band. From what I’ve heard, people are sometimes offered spot bonuses in these situations, but not necessarily an actual salary adjustment. I’m specifically more interested in increasing base salary (mortgage affordability reasons, etc.).

Do they offer salary increases?

Who’s the right first point of contact? CC, RL, Partner? And once raised, who usually picks it up?

Do they typically ask to see the offer letter? Mine is just an email outlining comp/package. I’d rather not share it in full, is it even legal for them to insist on seeing it?

Is there a reputational downside to going down this path?

Hello everyone !
I just graduated and I have made it pass the third interview which was a two part working interview that I will receive compensation for. I have BS degree in healthcare professions and wanted to know if 40k is too low of salary to start off as a compliance officer for a pharmacy that provides discounted medications. My first 3 months will be training for my position but I will be paid the same. The job hasn’t offered me a dollar amount yet and I want to be best prepared.

Currently an assurance senior 3 at EY (promoting to manager in Oct). Want to get insight or anyone who made transfer from one big 4 to another. Was it worth it? What’s the bump in salary? How hard was the transition for you (new terminology, tech, firm culture, etc)? Don’t want to think the grass is always greener on the other side, but I’ve seen so many people made the move to EY from other big 4 and they make much more than I do because of the switch (same city same service line same level).

Got another perm offer in a different industry for similar salary, but I might have to relocate and I'm concerned the work may involve translation instead of pure legal work.
