I wouldn’t expect much more than 0% this year. RSM audit SMs that meet and exceed expectations are getting 4.5% if you need a benchmark

If your base salary is $500K+ then sure, totally reasonable.

Seriously though, if you’re hoping for big bonuses, audit is not the place for you

did you get a 50k bonus last year? Why would this year be so much different than the prior year that it’s not even remotely comparable?

Surely there’s set percentages based on your review ratings and/or utilizations. The max bonus should be easy to figure out.

Tough time getting past final step: I’ve been trying to make a career shift for 10 months now and continue to get rejected at the last step.

Would love advice from anyone who’s dealt with this before. It’s tough to get them to take a risk on me
