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.

Idk who needs to hear this but don’t just accept feeling lucky to have a job during a pandemic as an excuse to not get your promotion AND raise. If they say they don’t have money, issa lie. They have it, just not for you.

It goes without saying but always keep that resume fresh and be on the lookout for yourself because they SHOL ain’t lookin out for us.

🗣Don’t let them assign your value, know it for yourself and leave if you have to!!

Interested to know average salaries
of an Assistant Manager in
Purchasing (London based).
I was promoted from Supervisor to
Assistant Manager within the last
month, prior to my previous
manager being replaced. This is my
second promotion in just under a
year at the company. Based on the
salary I feel undervalued and
demotivated (I'm on just over £30k
and have 3 direct reports in a team
of 12), particularly as my efforts to
negotiate my salary were shot down.
Any advice would be welcomed.
