It is a myth that Big4 competition is always higher. Most firms roughly the same. At time national, regional and large local is higher. Sometime Big4 is higher.

Surprise! You can be assured that your pay bump for moving to big 4 will not be in dollars but in "good opportunities" and long hours. It's going to look great on that resume though.

Always heard smaller firms pay more. They need to in order to compete in recruiting vs big4

RSM1, I disagree on the pay part. I left mid tier firms to join big 4 twice, both times I got significant raises to move laterally.. I kid you not I am nothing that special, so yes I stand by saying timing is everything

KPMG 24% raise
Deloitte 40% raise

like

In NYC they definitely make more at a senior level.

Yeah RSM and some regional firms in Chicago start at the exact same as KPMG and PwC audit

I thought midsize was normally higher? So the exact match would be PwC’s external hire bump and not whatever everyone else at your level is making.

Negotiate for more. They expect you to.

And you’ll be able to rid ourself of the crappy messy clients that somehow find their way to national middle market firms. That’s gotta be worth 10% right there

I got a higher offer from BDO than I did from two Big 4 companies so it’s obviously possible.
