Is 125k Base plus 5k sign on bonus from KPMG for a 1st year manager a good offer? Im in Los Angeles. No JD or LLM, just a CPA. Almost 5 YOE.

Ask for 10k signing. Most seniors I know who got offers got 5k. As for salary that sounds about right to me

Many years ago I had started at kpmg in Silicon Valley as a new manager. My salary was $105k plus $10k signing. Also I was moving from another b4 with 5 years experience. So your offer seems very reasonable. Don’t worry about what it could have been if you had asked for more. The only thing you should probably ask them is perhaps a $10k signing instead of $5 but your base is solid.

Is this legal? My spouses company just decided to change their comp structure for account managers. It was base + comm, now it’s commission only but nothing changed, OT commission is the same, didn’t get more points, just took away the base pay and said work harder basically. So now they have to worker harder to get $50k they were already making. (Not a decision based on employee performance, they’ve been crushing it. I think the company is just trying to save money they overspent else where)
