I'm making an internal transfer to FAAS service line (out of audit) and only got a $2K raise. I was under the impression that FAAS gets paid a fair amount better than audit? Was I mistaken?

For context:
I'm leaving audit as a "top rated" S1. I'm already compensated at the top of the pay-band (as told to me by the recruiting team who are helping to transition me). I also applied for PWC CMAAS, but was offered the same exact compensation as EY and was told there was no room to negotiate.

We are under assurance, so typically we really don’t get paid dramatically more than audit. If comp is what you are aiming for, you can probably shop around some of the smaller firms like Connor Group or something. I think some of them give out pretty large bonus that is based on number of hours you charge.

If you’re highly ranked, take a look at A&Ms CMAA group. They pay exceptionally well and are very highly regarded. Just came over from another big-4 and extremely happy with my comp.

From what I know it depends. They handle IPO- related projects which are more time sensitive to purchase accounting to other technical work. They also do lease accounting implementation. Similar hours to big 4 accounting advisory (CMAAS, FAAS, AAS).

Sounds like you’re getting a good deal in audit. Senior 1 isn’t typically in the high 90’s or breaking 100k

I'm surprised pwc wasn't higher, but they're also under a cohort model, which is why there was no room to negotiate. Generally going to a different service line externally will get you a nice bump. Not only that, but I'm pretty sure CMAAS pays a little more than us, since they're under advisory

CMAAS S1 HCOL is well known cohort starts at 101k

If you tell ur your comp we can give you a better idea if they’re screwing you or not

Your audit comp must have just been really good already. Im doing a lateral switch to CMAAS from EY audit and my salary will jump 25% when I start.

I am applying to more positions through staffing agencies as one way to get a writing job. When they tell me the hourly rate and I suggest a few dollars higher per hour, they'll say, "Just so you know, the competition is priced lower than you."

Is this to scare me into submission to charge less so that they can profit more? Or is an employer really not going to pick me because I am priced 1-$2 more per hour than someone else? Wdyt?

Hi all,
Need an advice. I am confused between doing masters or learn tech stack and increase experience and salary.
*My primary goal is to earn more.*
If masters I have to do in US or UK, so GRE, GMAT.
If for learning and tech experience I can learn tech stacks.
But I am confused between this.
Could you please tell or suggest what would be a better choice? Is doing masters in US or UK is a better ROI or be in India and gain exp and earn more by switching?
Currently I am a Java developer.
TIA
