Offered 87k base and 10k sign on bonus at a Big4 for a senior position in tax. Coming from a private company in-house accounting and tax department with 5 years of experience. I am disappointed with this offer as given the mass exodus I know is going on from an inside source plus the current employment market. Anyone know current offers in similar position? thoughts on negotiating?

Pretty standard for Miami-level city. Maybe a LITTLE low but fairly accurate

That’s low for what will be required of you at Deloitte. Prob taking a pay cut at 95k on an hourly basis. I would definitely counter. Miami isn’t nyc or SF cost of living but it’s not exactly cheap either.

Just to add. Here’s PWCs senior associate salary disclosure under Colorado equal pay act

Compensation range: $57,200 - $180,000 plus may be eligible for an annual discretionary bonus. Actual compensation within that range will be dependent upon the individual's skills, experience and qualifications.

You probably aren’t valued that highly. There are concerns about bringing folks in from industry that they aren’t efficient.

Thanks for the insight. Understandable from a business perspective.

95k plus

That’s low. As a senior 1 I was offered more with 2.5 years experience.

Thanks, I did consider that they would pay more for someone from another B4 but I have the tax experience just more on the review side versus hands on which is in line for the senior role I thought

For Miami, it's not great but it's fair. Do you have your CPA? You could try to negotiate 95, no sign on.

Also, treat the bonus as a nonfactor in your decision. Depending on whatever you choose to contribute to your 401(k), roughly a third of it will be taxed. That and you'll have to pay back all or half of the gross amount if you leave within 2 years.

You lose a year moving from private to public so realistically, they evaluate you as a senior 2.

97k for a senior 2 is a fair offer.

Well, they're the same to me. Lower base is actually better because it doesnt put you on the higher end of the range and affect your raise next year.

Some people feel off because they're not guaranteed to get the same amount next year but you always have the option of shopping for a new job again.

What city?

C- market city. Miami
