That's really low.

BDO 1 - I want 15-20 every year or I walk. Don't give a shit if the firm had a bad year I'm not a partner that's their problem

like

@ey1. I see a lot of job changes in your future. You aren't getting 15-20 /year. I can guarantee thatt

like

BDO 1 - this of course assumes I keep up my end of the bargain and significantly exceed the expectations of me. If I don't the raise can go down. But if I do I will quit if I'm punished just because the partners couldn't sell enough work

like

You people want 10% every year? If you or you office had a bad year then it is a normal raise for a staff.

like

@BDO1 - probably not. God big 4 sucks

like

Not 10%, but definitely 5-8%

like

Depends on your performance. I've always been a top performer and never would accept below 5%. My lowest raise ever was 6%. I would say 3.3% is towards the bottom of a wide scale from 2-8% for performance.

like

Ey 1, how long have you gotten 15-20% each year? Seems pretty high

like

The one out of my two years that I was eligible for a raise. Of course I was an experienced hire and may have come in at slightly under market. All I'm saying is that I shouldn't be punished for a bad year of the firm as long as I did my part

like

PA sucks! CR doesnt give performance bonuses. Salary increases suck... So the bottom line is that w/ the hrs we put in, we make just above minimum wage

like

If 1.5-2% is actually a realistic raise how is it not big 4 that's the problem

like

1.5-2% outside public. Not big 4. CR1 sounds reasonable

like

I'm the same year as you in DC Tax and got 5%

like

EY 1, considering that's a decimal point over from a realistic raise...I don't think it's big 4 that's the issue.

I'm DC area audit. 3.5%, 7.1%, 17% annually started in October

That's not a raise that's a COL adjustment.

Expect 7.5% for your promo & raise next year.

@ey1 I got 20% in my staff 1 year and hoping for 20+ in my staff 2 > sr 1 year this year. Agree that it is frustrating that it's dependent on how the firm did, because personally I know that I did twice as much work as I did last year

Yeah. That sucks man!!!

I’ve been verbally offered a position at a new company, but the recruiter insists on getting a verbal acceptance before sending the offer in writing. This person insists on negotiating salary before sending the paperwork. Generic benefits, RSUs, bonus info have been provided; it’s all unofficial.
