Shower thought on Big four salary disparity: US-based strategy senior could earn $150k-$200K (think EYP, S& seniors and Strategy MBA hires) while a senior outside US only earns somewhere between $30k and $50k USD depending on local currency. that’s a staggering 4x - 5x difference.

G1...definitely not EY. 🙈

Our healthcare plan is just so-so compared to other companies in financial services. Even with health insurance, our out of pocket cost is not closer to that of Europeans’.

You must not shower often if you can only come up with bad takes like these.

Brah I made personal sacrifices to immigrate here. That matter.

In a nutshell, that’s how the US siphon talents and labors from other countries by printing.
I bet you would have heard about this if you are either in the US or in non-US-ally countries.

Dubai and Switzerland have higher salaries than the US

Agreed P1. One of the big drawbacks (at least for me) in 🇨🇭 is apartment life pretty much for life. It’s very hard to buy a house here and only a few people can afford it. So most people are stuck living in small apartments their whole life.

I have a pretty good idea that I’m being undervalued & underpaid. Anyone willing to share base salaries for account manager/account executive/sales lead for food/CPG industry? Any companies considering inflation raises or have already committed to increasing annual merit to match inflation? If so, willing to share % raise?

Which offer should I accept? Currently staff 2 at big 4 in Tax with CPA license. I want to leave tax ASAP. Both are public companies +1B in revenue and same salary. Offer 1 - staff revenue accountant so reading contracts, speaking with the sales team and legal team, a lot of work at the end of the months to close books and reconcile transactions to make sure we are ASC 606 compliant. This track usually leads to director of revenue. Offer 2 - internal audit staff so SOX and compliance projects.

Hi
How much in hand for 14.5 LPA at nokia, 7.5 percent is performance based.

I asked for a raise in April 2022 after three years with my company. Positive feedback since day one. Learned I was making less than peers at other asset managers in NYC with less experience (14 years). Latest conversation was with HR about how they calculate salaries. I’ve been asked to provide examples how my role has changed since I started to justify the increase. Is this normal? Or is this just their way of denying my request?

I applied with EY for a Senior Manager role I had my first stage interview with a senior manager, which I thought went well as I got the partner interview 2 weeks later, and said I'll be contact within 10 day HR. This did not happen so I chased up. Today I received feedback from HR stating that the senior manager, who would have been my peer, said I didn't have enough experience. But the partner who I would have been working under did like me.
