But don’t folks in the UK not have to pay anything extra for healthcare, pensions, etc… While I admittedly don’t know the correct comparison to U.S. salaries, you definitely cannot make an apples to apples comparison based just on salary.

We should compare the standard of living on big 4 associates in London to those in NYC, overall. I mean healthcare, daycare costs, university, retirement, time off, like everything

Which offer should I accept? Currently staff 2 at big 4 in Tax with CPA license. I want to leave tax ASAP. Both are public companies +1B in revenue and same salary. Offer 1 - staff revenue accountant so reading contracts, speaking with the sales team and legal team, a lot of work at the end of the months to close books and reconcile transactions to make sure we are ASC 606 compliant. This track usually leads to director of revenue. Offer 2 - internal audit staff so SOX and compliance projects.
