A) make sure you’re in the hunt for the title first, many of the big 4 won’t hire up into level and many down grade (judging your title as consultant,) B) understand the big4, they are machines where a lot of things are set and non-negotiable (PTO, 401k, similar policy things.) C) after that get paid now (recruiters will tell you lots of fluff about years in level or “making it right” at the next evaluation, but once you’re here you’re in the machine. Get the salary and signing bonus you need to make the jump today, tomorrow isn’t guaranteed and you’ll never have the leverage you do right now again

Signing bonus absolutely. Try to come in with extra seniority to be higher on M base

Title and sign on bonus. Don’t buy into future bonus promises

Hot take: if you’re asking about wardrobe, the answer is yes you need a new wardrobe. Stopping dressing like that!
