The firms are competitive and salaries are within a similar range. The difference would not be substantial whatsoever
I think you guys are right. Maybe I'll just chill out about comp and make up for feeling underpaid by not working that hard
I'm done here OP. I thought you were a staff. Get your shit together.
Lol atta kid now you're talking. Just chill until you hit senior. Don't be a shithead though. At least pretend like you care.
If you really want a higher salary in B4 I'd suggest looking into other service lines like TAS. You gotta be a high performer though. If you don't want to bust your ass then go to industry. I'm about to bounce and should be getting about a 25% bump.
Hey, what do you want from me? I don't spend my time studying compensation trends in the market. I am just trying to maximize my dollars and could use a little help tyia
Lol just fucking with you OP glad I could help
^comparing different LOS and region is completely meaningless
I thought it was the opposite, at least for Tax
EY1 is right. In the end, all B4 are pretty much the same. You definitely aren't getting a big pay bump that'll last. Your next year raise will just be small and it'll even out.
You might see a small bump from the scenario you mentioned but you have to consider that they aren't going to pay you that much more than their current employees, which make the same as you right now.
@EY 1 - well, damnit. So is the only way to get a big bump to go to industry? What about where a big4 is looking for people in your role/group and willing to pay to poach people from other firms. Does this happen?
@EY1 - I'll be a manager next year and may already be at the top of my band due to good ratings and a jdllm
Just got promoted to senior, and I saw some posts on here where 3rd year senior EY Folks were making less than what I'll make as a first year senior. Sure market and probably LOS (believe they were audit vs me tax specialty) played a role but that doesn't seem to say PwC would have the lower base salary.
That's why I pointed that fact out because I'm not certain how the pay compares, even within my own region and tax. Feel like there's absolutely no transparency. Thing I'm coming in very high for a new senior but couldn't tell for certain.
In my experience, EY far and away has the lowest salaries, especially in tax.
I switched from EY to PwC (tax) and the salaries were generally higher at PwC. Obviously I got a bump for switching, but it seems like even the people who were campus hires at PwC were making more than campus hires at EY. I think it all evens out eventually though. By the time you make manager I think all the firms pay around the same, even the differences due to performance lessen.
Agree with PwC2, when I was promoted to manager I got 5% raise with 4 rating and all previous years 4 rating. Someone who barely got 3 in all years got 10% raise. The partner told to both of us the adjustment is per market, I hit my ceiling and the other guy was underpaid for the manager role.
