Need some insight to help me decide, EY vs KPMG in MCOL city

EY - 78k base, 5k Sign on for Technology Risk Consulting

KPMG - 75k base, 8k sign on for Risk and Compliance Advisory

Benefits, WLB, and culture to consider?

Can’t go wrong with either but be wary about EYs split that’s gonna happen next year, which can impact company culture and wlb.

For Tech Risk, that sounds very good. When I got hired for a Mid tier consulting firm (BDO/GT/ Crowe) . My offer was for 60k flat

His title is Student. I think you assumed correctly.

Congrats with both offers! I know culture is pretty dependent on your specific group but I’ve liked my experience so far here (in Advisory but not in Risk & Compliance)

EY does unlimited PTO (no payout) whereas KPMG pays out your PTO if you were to leave..

No

Kpmg trc environment makes you feel like you should work the long hours, and it’s bad to put that boundary up.

Anyone have advice for advancing in your current role? My co-worker was hired in at manager level but somehow “proved” he was actually doing director level work and got a title promotion and salary increase in less than a year. I also went above and beyond my job as well (covering for him for a month while he was away on paternity leave) while taking on other projects outside of my job title and got zip—no raise or recognition. Any advice would be appreciated!

We have a couple of junior execs. I make 53.8k per month now, I wanted to know if I'm getting underpaid or this is the best salary I can expect elsewhere in the region.

Do most firms start reporting years in September or January? Prior firm did an August year for counting hours and then another did January (both Amlaw 200). Looking at an Amlaw 100 to lateral in the fall (so trying to anticipate how much of the year I’ll have). I’ll ask what bonus/reporting year but just curious if most follow the same.
