15% in a non promo year is great what you mean! My first year I was a tier 1 and only got 8%

Same as EY2. Before SM years, not sure I had a raise less than 13% - 15% at EY.

When I was at KPMG and given my 3% interim raise, I asked about the fact KPMG was below market and their reply was we “researched this” that said, KPMG pay’s seniors in the mid 70s and PwC now the high 80s. There is almost a 20k market difference.

Today they gave everyone a 20% raise in Assurance at PwC…Btw PwC is hiring and they doubled the referral bonus too, anyone need a referral lmfao…

@EY 4 a lot of 2 year promo’s now but I hear you about how rough it is at PwC coming in as an Associate… wasn’t not my route for sure. (KPMG A2–>PwC S1)

Not having a payout hurt the people at top the most, but honestly I don’t feel that bad. At that salary you should more than enough saved up to live comfortably, and I see it as a bit of payback for those late night “pls fix” emails

KPMG always underwhelms. They’re in the last of the pack in terms of wanting to increase comp. But as others have noted, a ton of people including myself have left this year so will be interesting to see what plays out.

At what point does the value of a degree fall off? I'm in my early 30s, and have five years of experience, and work on a very theoretically interesting project. I believe I'm on track to promotion in the next year. So, I could put in a year of full time school to check the box off, but I'd be sacrificing hobbies and social life (not to mention cost). Is this FOMO or is there real opportunity here?
