Is it outrageous to ask for $120-130K at the senior associate level? Industry: SOX Compliance, Risk Advisory, information assurance public sector.

M/35/Chicago/130k

I feel I’m fairly compensated, but sometimes I feel like everyone else is making more

Just venting. College friend (same ethnicity but came to US with family as a kid) told me she might get a new job offer w a smaller firm, 50% pay bump. We currently work at comparable big firms but her pay is already higher than mine (hers include stocks, mine doesn’t). We did equally well in college & I know I’m just as smart. Can’t help but feel like my career’d have been much better if I did not need sponsorship. Smaller firms don’t sponsor so I work at a big firm but pay isn’t great 🙄

Hello,

My friend joined RBS with 18 LPA (1,80,000 is the retirement funding) rest comes in basic & benefit funding. What will be the monthly in hand amount?

Hello Fishs,

I have given 3 rounds of interview for the position of SE- B8 , i.e. Lead SE. Now in salary discussion round i asked HR for a CTC between a range of 31-34L. But they told me max they can give is 29.5L. I still did not accepted the initial offer from HR, it is going again one more round for salary negotiation after HR confirms the bracket from Business. I know Natwest dont negotiate once you accepted the offer. What CTC can i expect from Natwest for Lead SE.

currently tossing up between staying at a global company (who is in the process of some positive changes) with an amazing manager who supports my career and flexible working … however comes with the inherit issues that come with a long standing global company

compared with a role at a smaller mga, higher salary (around 30%) more , more visibility career wise and some great employee benefits , management seem to be supportive and low staff turnover

which would you choose here

what’s the normal/average hourly rate for a freelance senior/acd in chicago? thanks in advance :)

Curious what’s a fair salary in MA? Was just told that there is likely not going to be a chance for a raise during my upcoming performance review due to my salary already being “above average for the industry” based on my employer’s questionable research. I’ve been with the company 8.5 years & am the only one in my role, which they can’t operate without. I execute tasks from two investment advisors and two financial planners - they make the decisions of what should happen & I make it happen.

For those in private, how was bonus this year?

How do I claim the relocation lumpsump amount? Should I reach out to my global mobility advisor or will it be directly included in my first salary?

I accepted a new offer and put in my notice this week and my company provided a counteroffer. The offer is lower than my new offer but I know it’s the best they can do. Financially I do need the money but I’m also tempted to stay because my current team is so great. I have 2 questions 1) when does it make sense to prioritize workplace happiness/ balance over financial well-being? 2) if I go back on my offer acceptance should I consider that bridge burned?

I recently got an offer from Accenture in the TDP program. My official title is Technology architecture delivery analyst. I want to negotiate and ask for more, but there is not much information online on how much I should ask for. Can anyone provide any tips, tricks, or advice? Thanks in advance!

IAPP is such trash. Why does everyone recommend getting the CIPP certs when they mean nothing??

Planning to take the CIPP and CIPM. Will be doing self-study. What is the “book” everyone refers to for studying? Is it just the “study guide” the IAPP sells? Does anyone know if the study guides and sample questions you can buy on amazon are sufficient to use for passing? Appreciate any and all advice.

I’m currently doing IR work but would like to do something more on the technical side (ie: more forensics or technical). Does anyone know if forensics firms or any firm that offers a mix ? I have both a Cipp-Us and cyber/ Sec+ certs.

Is that too optimistic?

Crowe is hiring for quite a few positions across the US (Internal Audit, IT controls and cyber/digital security, Compliance,etc)… I’m a manager and would think some of these niche areas have great opportunity for new folks to excel rather quickly.

What are the best exits from risk assurance? Is it possible to lateral into tech or no?

I’m thinking of making a switch from 4YOE in Industry to Public as a senior associate in Assurance. Do PA firm expect you to already know everything, or do they provide training to help you catch on? How challenging is it coming from industry to PA? What could be some of their expectations? And how do you exceed that?

Has PA caught up with industry? Salary ranges in industry jobs I have seen are pretty underwhelming (5% more typically)

Thoughts on messaging on the 10/21 Risk Assurance transition webcast for those staying in Assurance? Still as clear as mud.
