Offered Tax Manager at EY - roughly 12% raise, but no sign-on bonus. Should I push back about bonus when I speak with HR? Seems other Tax Managers are getting lucrative bonuses these days.

No sign on bonus is terrible in this market. Definitely go back and request one.

For reference I’m just shy of 2 years at manager at a KPMG tax specialty group, got 30% raise to SM at another B4 and $15k signing bonus. And even then the bonus isn’t anything crazy, although I did negotiate less bonus for more base.

I’d start with $15k or even $20k.

Will most companies teach me what I need to know or should I go and find skills to learn on my own?

I like my current job, company and public accounting. I know I am being underpaid at $70k as a senior tax associate with 2-3 years of experience as I have talked with my local peers as well as local recruiters. Also, I know outside hires to my company get paid about $5-$10k higher than me, but they don’t get a raise the following year. My question is what is everyone’s experience with company hopping to get a pay bump within public accounting?
