Expect 80k and 5k signing bonus. They don’t typically budge anywhere above that for someone with just 2 years auditing experience. This is coming from someone who did the same move to FDD in you position

If you have the offer , isn’t the salary in the offer letter ?

As far as best way to negotiate, use concrete figures. ‘I’m expecting X raise or I’m forfeiting X bonus’ to start at your firm

You will likely be at 80. In our office, there is no variance in base salary between people at the same level, the only compensation that varies between top performers and the rest is bonus

How many years of experience do you have and how strong of a candidate are you? Work in FDD in Boston, salaries are a little all over the place. Is your offer somewhere around 80?

Do you have your CPA?

@KPMG1, which city are you in if don’t mind me asking?

Chicago

Five years ago I had offers from all big4 in Boston for senior 1 FDD (halfway through my senior 1 year of audit). Salaries ranged from 65-75, but that’s 5 years ago.

@KPMG 1 how do you like FDD? I have an interview with KPMG coming up. How are your hours? How long did it take you to master the work/feel productive

I’m in-house at a small company (60 people), started right out of law school about 5 years ago. We had a legal team of 5 then. Everyone has left and we just hired a new GC. I went from $70k to $100k a little over a year ago. I am expecting an offer from a firm doing business law work but think this might be an opportunity to go to my current employer and ask for a significant raise, with new offer in hand. Any thoughts or advice going into this?

Hi LTI Fishes, I am new to this variable included pay structure. From my first company to current I am getting fixed pay only. So, I know how to calculate my in-hand salary with that. I can see here 10% is variable pay. I have some questions,

1. How much will be in-hand salary?

2. Is there any hidden component which may deduct from my salary?

3. How variable pay will be paid? monthly or quarterly or annually?

4. How much variable pay we will get by Average?
