S2 in LCOL city working for a regional firm, tier 1 performer from what I’ve been told my superiors. Mid-year salary bump gets me to $81,500 and a retention bonus of $6,000. I obviously don’t think the firm is trying to compete with the big4 after hearing what Deloitte and others are doing with their retention bonus, but does this seem extremely low to you all? Would be eligible for manager promotion in less than a year.

That does not particularly seem low to me at all

Lol I was a high performer and at $66k as an S3 at big 4 in a LOC city. Not sure you understand the market pay for auditors

I think it’s actually pretty competitive given you are in a LCOL city. However, if you want more we can do that. Message me.

not low at all on salary, i’m in Dallas (MCOL) and my mid-year salary adjustment takes me to 88k as an S2.

On the other hand, my retention bonus is 35k

Well keep in mind Deloitte is the only big 4 offering big retention now - so it is not so common in the market yet. I would more interpret that as how bad retention is at Deloitte - and there is a reason why it is so bad. Deloitte was the first to announce 2021 salary increase this year and they were way below what other big four did. That’s why they have to do this to make it up for their people otherwise they are simple just not enough people in the firm now. They kept telling us that more than half of people on payroll in March 21 already left Deloitte so that’s how bad it is.

LCOL I think you're doing great
