Recently accepted an internal transfer offer to switch to FDD from audit in a couple months. After seeing inflation numbers, the PWC 15% deals bump, and generally feeling lowballed (90k HCOL for an S1), I’m feeling really fed up and considering looking to other big 4 (PWC) for FDD to get the comp I feel I deserve. Would this be taboo considering I already accepted an offer?

Not at all. Make that move and then you can renegotiate your comp with the external offer.

You have no experience as an S1, why do you think you deserve the PwC max pay for your level?

like

SA1, are your peers higher than 90k? Do you consider yourself fully onboarded and able to function as a senior without input from a superior? If yes then you need to evaluate when your year end is and who the right person is to have a discussion with regarding this topic. Clearly articulate your progress since you've joined the group, the Market data you're comparing to and what your expectations are. If you never ask then you can't get a market adjustment. At the same time, if you don't get it you need to assess whether you're willing to leave for this market difference.

Hint, market data does not mean referring to fish bowl! 😀

Which city?

I just left KPMG Audit to PwC FDD and qualified for the raise bump. 😆
so yes you should def re-negotiate your salary with KP otherwise leave

I’m at a MCOL FDD S1 at Kpmg getting paid 100k. You should be paid more tbh.

Why do you feel you deserve this comp when you got no FDD experience? Lol. See if you like it first before hopping firms.. your young you work for the resume builder. No need to be hopping over 10-15k. Money will come.

I feel like half the people responding would unironically use the phrase “pull yourself up by your bootstraps”. I think I deserve the same comp that the same people with my same level of experience are getting. Why is this so hard to understand that as much as you want it to be an individual issue it just isn’t. Second half of your response is like a different person and I actually see some value in that.

I am an Audit S1 that wants to work in a B4 Forensics practice. Would it be best for me to accept an offer in Forensics at a much smaller firm (local, 150ish total employees) to gain experience and then try to move to B4 Forensics? Or should I stay in Audit and wait for B4 Forensics positions to open up? Please let me know your thoughts!

Fellow enterprise tech sales fish, I’m interested to hear your perspective. I’ve been in a rut lately and seriously considering leaving sales. I think it’s primarily fueled by one thing:
After a 6 mo cycle I closed a large deal (4x the average deal size) prior to receiving delayed 2022 comp plans. The deal counts as a 2022 deal. On last years comp plan it would’ve paid out at 10%. This year it pays out at a measly 4%.

How do you/have you navigated your way through and out of these situations?
