Looking to do some market research:

I’m a 2.5 year Audit Manager in the Chicago market. I have a $92,500 base salary with 6% Bonus.

What do/did you earn at a comparable level? Thanks!

You are getting absolutely hosed. You won’t get fair pay with your current firm as you are 30k under market. Switch firms. ASAP.

Definitely not audit though.

As an M1, $103k base.
Whether you work in public or in industry, you’re being underpaid.

For frame of reference I’m in Milwaukee. Same experience. Non big 4. 85k base. Bonus about 5%

second year audit manager, NYC. approx same bonus % but a $103k base.

You must work for Big 4

Well if Chicago EY staff are starting at 61k and a 3k sign on bonus you are way underpaid.

Lollll my thoughts

You are being underpaid for sure. Do you have any certifications? If you are in the big 4 I assume you do. I make almost that and am not a manager yet

This is on par

2nd year audit manager FL $100k base, you’re underpaid based on your market.

Any tips/warnings/advice on potentially trying to move from Big 4 to either MBB or a T2 boutique firm? I’m anticipating reaching M1 in Big 4 within the next 12 months. I really like my current practice, but frankly as I eye comp across the bowl, I’m hungry for more elsewhere, even with the recent Big 4 bumps. I have 5 YOE (3 consulting, 2 industry) all within somewhat niche subject matter, as well as my MBA (non “prestigious” school however). Any thoughts or clarifying questions are welcome, TIA

Is this legal? My spouses company just decided to change their comp structure for account managers. It was base + comm, now it’s commission only but nothing changed, OT commission is the same, didn’t get more points, just took away the base pay and said work harder basically. So now they have to worker harder to get $50k they were already making. (Not a decision based on employee performance, they’ve been crushing it. I think the company is just trying to save money they overspent else where)

Hi Fishes,
I cleared LTI all rounds and in HR discussion we came on mutual agreement for 16lpa .I have 7 years of experience and they gave me Specialist - Data Engineering(P3) role. And we agreed I will join with after 60 as I had to serve 60 days notice period. I was waiting for offer letter and when I received the offer letter I was shocked to see that CTC mentioned was 14LPA and joining date was only 15days from now ,which is way early.
Continuing the POST (++)

Hi Everyone,
I have a query. Not sure if this is the right forum for it, but let me just ask it here.
I have completed my B.Tech. on 2020 and got a job in an MNC with a 3.8LPA, but due to COVID, the onboarding was delayed to Feb 2021. During this time, I had enrolled myself for a distance M.Tech. degree.
I recently joined a new company with a 10.1LPA a month back.
Just two weeks back, my M.Tech. degree is completed.
Should I have some increment in my new company as to my M.Tech. completion?
