I’m an S2 at RSM in FDD in a HCOL city and after year-end reviews I got a small salary bump from $85K to $90K. After hearing about the pay for external hires, I interviewed for and just received an offer at PwC as an S2 for $102K plus a $10K sign-on bonus. I asked for a bump to $105K and PwC agreed. Should I give RSM an opportunity to match (I don’t think they will)? And does that PwC comp seem fair?

No just leave, you’re better off there as opposed to RSM anyways

I also heard RSM has great wlb. I think EY is the highest pay out of the big 4 now

I left for that exact reason, RSM seems to underpay across all of FDD. And if they match that $105 they’ll just true you up in future cycles and bring you back down to their version of “market”

like

v. true. Would only attempt to get RSM to match if you REALLY want to stay (love the team, culture, WLB, etc.) otherwise just seems like a waste of everyones time

I’d give rsm a shot to get give you more money. It’ll probably be hard for them to beat it, but I wouldn’t underestimate your current job if you like the people/culture.

like

That’s very true. The certainty of your workplace is definitely worth something up to a point. Hopefully OP can get them to match

Tell RSM you got an offer for $115k (not lying when you include the bonus)....let match this and leave if they don't.

Many factors to consider, do you like your group? How would they take the information you will share with them? Do you know of someone that did that with success?

There is a lot of turnover everywhere.. if you feel that this is the right move for you go for it!

So you are S3 now?

That’s awesome! Congrats 🎊

FYI you are going to have the same issue at pwc next year, s3 currently makes 107 so better hope the cohort grid moves significantly

I guess I’ll have to cross that bridge when I get to it.

PwC S3 only is at 107? What market is that?

Wtf an FDD S3 only tops out at 112k base in SF? Audit S3’s in this city make that much…

likefunny

Should have asked for $110k. Could play RSM but would still come in lower because of the sign on

Anyone able to provide insight into RSM new director pay range in HCOL?

Hi! I’m in FDD and looking to move out of California to either TX (Dallas) or Florida (open to different cities) within this year (around Aug/Sep).
Can anyone speak to the opportunities/career growth available in these cities? I’m not sure Miami is where I see myself in FL, maybe more Tampa—but I don’t think FDD is there.
I’ve heard a lot of good things about Dallas too so trying to keep my options open.
Is Dallas > Florida?

Any insight would be appreciated—thanks!
