Need advice: FM Associate (experienced?), been at it for 2 years. Want to switch firms from one B4 to possibly another due to a weak start and a low starting base salary. What comp is reasonable?

You got screwed with that salary. I think $85 with 2 years or $95 with 3 is to be expected. Whether or not they’ll bump your title is another story, but play ball with the money! $5 signing bonus.

SC1, I've considered the effects on my long-term career. I have not learned any hard skills in these two years and my network fled the firm in a hurry. The only reason why recruiters call is because of the PwC brand name. EY's offers are not that generous, it seems that D might be the best option.

What is your salary at PwC and do you have any certs? I did that hop a while ago with similar experience.

If you don’t feel comfortable providing, I received a 20% salary/title bump and a separate signing bonus.

Mid 60s, certs are not related to FM. Received offers as low as 70 at B4 and as high as 88 in boutiques, but I want to make sure that's fair since everyone else I know tells me I got screwed with that salary.

PWC, consider your long term career growth and what option works best. Long term growth is better than short term gains. Leaving to firms like ey can get you stuck career wise depending on what your doing

@D1 2 years experience at 85 non mba? Those don’t sound like federal rates. Doesn’t Deloitte start at 70 on commercial side out of undergrad? Thinking federal is lower which means >10% raises each year.

Think whatever you want PwC, I was cashing the checks. Yes non-MBA.

So it sounds like Deloitte pays better than PwC for comparable levels...hmm gotta think now if jumping is the right thing to Deloitte now that PS is sold.

I don’t think they pay more on aggregate, I think the pay increase is just a byproduct of jumping firms. Probably standard across many competitors.

@D1 your story has changed. Was their offer shitty or is D higher pay a byproduct of jumping firms? Also based on those numbers why do you say D doesn’t pay more, seems like it’s easily 10k more.

Their offer is shitty. OP is making about $10K less than I was when I was in his or her shoes. My hop also increased my salary to the numbers I mentioned.

All competitors in this space will typically pay a “bump” to talent that is directly experienced with the work they do. That is to say I think I could have gotten a similar pay bump at EY or KPMG. That said, once you hit like $110 at Federal SC level at any firm you basically cap out, but until then there exists a degree of flexibility.
