Received a senior associate offer for 80k base salary, but guaranty bonus of 24k for first two years. I have 2 years big4 audit experience. Worried that there’s too much weight in bonus versus the base (as that base of 80 is what my big4 salary is). Any advice on counter offer? It’s for Philadelphia.

Stupid question from someone who’s been out of audit for a long time, but what’s the big4 salary for a sr. associate? I moved to Siegfried in mid-2019 from Deal Advisory manager at big4…I negotiated a modest increase from my big4 base and can attest that I’ve had at least 45% bonus each year since then (and it would be a lot more if I was back to traveling- which I haven’t since Covid) - even in Deal bonuses never came anywhere close to 45% and I’d estimate I make at least 65-70% more annually than I would’ve had I stayed with big4. It’s not all sunshine and rainbows, but the pay promises are real from everything I’ve seen, and bc of that I can realistically consider retiring from this type of work by my early 40s (~8 years).

If 80K is anywhere near what you’re making as an associate and you don’t want to make partner/don’t know what you’d like to do outside big4…it’s a good option in my opinion.
