Just got offered the following for a senior position in a national firms accounting advisory practice in Texas.

Base: 103K
Sign-on bonus: 7K
Bonus: told average is between 17-20% depending on the year and performance

Thoughts? Currently an S2 in audit making 93.5K

Not worth

No clawback and good point EY 1. From a TC perspective it does seem to be a bit higher from audit as typically you need tier 1 status to get that big of a bonus

Most people are gonna say not worth it but won’t realize Texas doesn’t have state income tax. This is comparable to what I make in Virginia as an S1.

Varies by region but I’m in a high cost area just outside of DC

I would be wary of the “advertised” bonus amounts as well …if the bonus is only 9-10%, does that change the way you view it

like

Remember you will be making 99.5k + any inflationary adjustments in 3 months.

Yes Texas S3 Core Audit is currently 99.5k.
You should take that as your base salary and I don’t think you should leave for anything less than a 20% bump.

I am also an S2 and have many friends that have left for $120k+

See if you can get a few points off bonus onto base

Otherwise, I’d say that’s good comp for your level and AAS.

How about AAS May not be hiring in 6 months so take it and run

Are you a CPA? I make 93k as an S2 and looking to make a move out of audit too

I am not a CPA. I am just a CPA candidate. So it is not impossible to make a pivot without it.

Have an offer from a dream company but I'll need to go in at a lower level. Knowing that I can bring a lot of value to the company (read- I know my worth), I negotiated with the hiring manager to have a level/comp review 6 months after employment. If I hit all my goals (ie, prove myself) within that time frame, I'll get a promotion and salary adjustment.
QUESTIONS:
Should this be in writing in the offer letter?
How detailed should it be? I assume I won't know what goals to set till I start...

Hi Everyone, I need your opinion.
I met a girl 2 months into my 6month exchange in NYC. I enjoyed her company and we had fun together. She is really busy (IB) but we made time for each other. so it was late night and weekend hangout. When i was leaving to my home country in UK, we said we would try to make it work. Now that i am home, it has become difficult. I have lots of friends (girls), therefore i am always with them when not working, and she doesn't like it much as my ex is among (TBC)
