Yeah audit is a different story but Deloitte is the market leader in tax. I’m biased towards them obviously, but if you’re going to make me choose, we haven’t had anyone come over from EY unhappy but we have had them come over from PWC unhappy. 🤷‍♀️

PWC 1 - I just think the cultures are somewhat similar, and I’ve never heard great things about PWC in Htown. Seems to be more of a sweat shop than EY or DT

Would it be a better idea to go straight into M&A Tax at PwC or hold off and do the DSG?

Can anyone give specifics as to why in the Houston market?

Look at the markets and industry prevalent in Houston and activity so far coupled with tax reform, cash (some) companies have and this is continuing to evolve in an interesting way. Alternatively see where Amazon end up and consider that market .... but housing will likely sky rocket.

EY. The DSG experience at EY is extremely beneficial. In Houston, I’d go DT before PWC. Also, the provision experience is painful, but vitally important to a career in tax and will be valuable to a future in M&A

EY 4, curious on why you suggest D over PwC in Houston?
I'm on the verge of a move so no offence either way. At least not to me.

Agree on EY DSG will be more beneficial long term. Also PWC has such a hard time getting their own people to work in Htown when I left 3 years ago they where offering 10-20k on top of everything else just to try to get people there.

Heard the same as EY4. PwC Houston does have a reputation of extremely high hours.

The M&A and international partners (most) at PwC Houston are pretty great. Not sure about EY, but I’ve considered working for a couple of the partners in Houston and heavily considered it. PwC allows you to get experience in the fields much faster, which is also good long term. PwC also has a good international D&A group that is very chill and tight knit; can’t beat that

I’m currently a Recruitment Consultant at an RPO with 4.5 YOE in Toronto. I received a salary raise last year. Recently I had another conversation with my manager for a comp raise. They was able to speak with their higher ups. Unfortunately, I got to know that they wouldn’t be able to increase my pay because of the economy. I’ve been working on heavy req loads and multi projects. But they are signing me up for a leadership program with a potential raise next year. Thoughts?

Fellow fishes, an observation. What explains the sudden rise in salaries in new hires.
In 2017/8, $/₹ was 65. Today it's at 80. That's a 20% depreciation over 2017/8 levels. Now, between then and now, salaries may have been corrected 50%. Factor in inflation, and you will see that the hike is just about 20% over a 4 time period. Doesn't seem like big number anymore.

Is it me or does the newer generation value more intangible things that aren’t easily measured like work-life balance, fulfillment and purpose in work. Which makes it difficult for firms because that’s not something that is easily measured. Also, this is why there is “value” in crypto, NFTs and the metaverse. It’s a clash of the generations that value tangible things like money, houses, cars and one that values time, experiences, personal online image. Thoughts?

I am currently working in Deloitte but have signed a PwC offer. Just realized my current salary after the compensation release is $2k higher than PWC.

Should I talk to PWC and ask for a raise?
