Just received an offer from EY. The offer came in a bit lower than I had hoped, any tips to negotiate salary or sign on bonus? (currently an S1 at KPMG)

Just tell them what you want. They’ll either counter or say they can’t budge.

I lateral switched from EY audit to KPMG audit because EY’s compensation decisions are consistently horsecrap. You better get exactly what you want or close to it, otherwise tell them to go pound sand.

If you’re excited about the new opportunity, express that to your recruiter and tell them that the compensation package doesn’t meet your needs to satisfy a move from your current role. Hopefully you have a 20-30%+ bump to compensate for leaving your current role. You could use your unvested 401k balance as support. The 1st counteroffer HR provides to you will be the greatest $$ jump. If the 2nd offer isn’t where you want it, you can see if they can re-allocate bonus money to base salary and/or vice versa.

Audit ?

Audit to audit? How come? Surprised you didn’t go to FAAS or SaT in this market

I did audit to audit, but it was from a mid tier to B4 though

EY always is low

My friend left to Deloitte for 25K more as a senior more than two years ago, so I’d like to think OP is getting at least 25% to switch

One of my friends works as a Director in Nagarro. She has been there for 7 years and has a CTC of 42 with total yoe 17. Per current trend this is low even though she is a constant top performer. She says that even though delivery people play a pivotal role, they are not paid well. In her team, she sees technical people earning 45-50 at 10-11 yoe. So the factor is 2.5 for delivery vs 4.5 to 5 for technical roles. Per her, this is quite common in Nagarro & she is not an outlier. ctd in comments

Hello Technie's,
I am in a confused state of mind with my current situation & I can surely use some advice from you guys.
I'm working with a product company for almost 5+ yrs now & recently decided to separate from them for obvious compensation reasons.
I have multiple offers now with product/service based companies.
The top and the best offer I have is from a service based organization of almost 100% hike.
Now my company wants to retain me & offering me even higher. What should I do?
