Hi all. I am trying to determine if I am being compensated fairly. I am a tax manager (about to start my second year as manager) and have been with EY since staff 1. I was promoted to manager in June 2020 (during covid) and received a 7.5% raise. The class above me has mentioned they received much higher raises during their promotion years. My base salary is now approx. 97K. Any insights would be extremely helpful. Thanks!

I guess I try to ignore it as much as possible. Office politics never really interested me and I don't like playing games. If I get a raise, I get a raise based on my work, not how much I schmoozed Jim in Middle Management.

Yeah office politics make toxic environments in work place
Make your peace with it. That's always been the case and always will be. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em - play the game, climb the ladder, retire early.

Yeah its sad but its true
I mean by the time promotion time comes around the decisions have been made so the politics is unnecessary…

Some employees make your wrong perception in front of management it effects your promotion time period
The people who play the office politics game all year long will be the ones getting promoted. Not the ones that only do it around review season

That’s corporate life for you. Office politics is always going to be there. If the company doesn’t see my value, I will start looking. So far it isn’t too bad where I’m at.
