I’ve been searching for an internal transfer for a year. Applied to a few external things and landed an offer that means a double promotion and a 30% salary jump. Within days of reaching terms with the new company, four separate opportunities opened up here. I know EY won’t match on compensation or rank and I can’t walk away from a 30% raise with 529s to fund, but I’m really going to miss my current practice. Why couldn’t the internal offers have happened two months ago??

Change is good!! You’ll be happy once you make the move. A new adventure awaits, include double promo and 30% more 💰. Sounds all solid to me. Congratulations!!

You’re asking why something that you would not choose now happened two months ago? Even if you did you would prefer the 30% raise.

Just telling you this so you have less regret

Was at EY for 5 years, once you leave you’ll realise you can still enjoy time at another company. I was fully hesitant about leaving too but like someone said above, change is good!

Nice bowl to avoid lowering the average in the US-centric threads. Anybody else finding that with the lack of pay rises this year, it’s become even harder to benchmark? Had a few recruiters recently suggesting I’d get 25% more by moving to a competitor but no telling whether that’s a short term-gain for a longer term hit.
