M1 FAAS salary at EY in office like Atlanta?
Hi all. I am trying to determine if I am being compensated fairly. I am a tax manager (about to start my second year as manager) and have been with EY since staff 1. I was promoted to manager in June 2020 (during covid) and received a 7.5% raise. The class above me has mentioned they received much higher raises during their promotion years. My base salary is now approx. 97K. Any insights would be extremely helpful. Thanks!

My 20 days is better than EY’s unlimited policy… it’s a selling point for the firm that we have no intent of switching to unlimited and we actively promote it as a point of distinction vs. EY.
Unlimited PTO is horrible for employees. I’m kinda shocked this is even a question.
Also on salary, we’re currently the market leader because of our across the board mid-year raises. Also was the market leader in October when we did year-end. Like everyone, people can get a raise by jumping to another firm, though. B4 pay you a premium to jump and then don’t give you raises in the future to put you in line with your band.
Poaching doesn’t really count because we’re poaching people from Deloitte and EY for the same numbers. Those people won’t receive the same % raises as their peers this cycle because they’re significantly above their pay band. All firms pay premium above market to poach. I know because I’ve helped friends make the jump here.
If you want an apples-to-apple comparison you’d do the same position homegrown (or with 1-2 years post-switching) at each. In most markets, we’re setting what market comp is by that metric. Obviously geography and LOS dependent, but typically people who have recently switched aren’t a good indicator of the norm at any firm.
Can you take 3 months off with your unlimited PTO? If not, then is it really unlimited? Have you been asked to switch your scheduled PTO since it’s unlimited?
I’m not going to say KPMG is the best B4 but I don’t like the “unlimited PTO” when I’m guessing it isn’t “unlimited.”
No.
Yes, on a public staffing call in front of the entire region. I say hello to my new coworkers on Monday.
Are you really making career decisions based on PTO?
Are you really going on a public app and asking if the pay is comparable? You know the kinds of answers you’re gonna get. Some are happy with their pay and some are not; same as EY and every other firm on FB. The nature of public posting would indicate that you will likely hear more from those that aren’t, but the reality is nobody pays more as a rule than anyone else. You must know that. It’s totally situational. People leave here for more money and people come here for more money.
The reason you want to come is because of opportunities in your area of specialty and WLB. Also far less politics than EY (source: former EY). If those things aren’t very important to you and you have a strong network at EY (as in, aligned with the right partner family tree), you should stay.
I love it here, FWIW.
KPMG 5, PTO should absolutely factor into career decisions. I’m not even looking at a job that’s giving me 10 days a year, because it tells me that they’re a company that doesn’t value personal time and I likely am not gonna to fit in well.
Do you get a pay rise by jumping? If so then go if not then don’t go.
My former employer had unlimited PTO. I took 5 days off… I’ll take the set days anytime
Have left KPMG but the PTO was only an issue during RFP season for fed advisory. Otherwise, I never actually used the full 20 days, gave a number away to ppl who needed them (e.g. extended sick leave).
WLB at KPMG was crazy good from the group I was with but the salary progression pre-covid didn’t track well. As always, ymmv depending on your group and from what I’ve seen they’ve noted their issue with comp and are addressing via raises/mid year adjustments. Curious if it’s as good as the 30K senior/above 3 year retention bonus they scrapped in 2017ish.
Salary is on par. Pretty much if you’re in any of the Big 4 you get a little screwed as homegrown (although they are making adjustments so it’s a little better) and will make more if you jump from another Big 4 or are an experienced hire.
Does KPMG offer remote work? If I am tagged to NY office, can I work from anywhere in US and if so, does compensation gets adjusted with the home location?
These are weird questions. You work for EY. Do they offer remote work? You ask as though the firm in question doesn’t do exactly what you do in the same labor market.
