So, I just came across this job description for an Senior Financial Accounting Advisory role with Embark.

Don't know much about the firm but I'm currently in FAAS and unless EY plans on getting pay at least sniffing these amounts then I'm out.

Big 4 or not with the rise in costs that type of salary is hard to pass up especially if I'm doing similar work getting paid significantly less.

Cries in Senior 3 in NYC FAAS making 108K
I don't know if I should just give up the GC and just join PwC. But then again I won't be able to join CMAAS since I don't do technical accounting or transaction advisory work

I’m in FAAS and don’t need a GC and still significantly below other firms.

All of our S1s in AAS MCOL are making well north of 100k. Not quite as high as PwC CMAAS but certainly higher than what EY is getting. You know it’s bad when KPMG pays better..have you considered moving to the other Big 4?

Wholly shit, mind sharing what is the pay like in HCOL?

I’ve heard great things about Embark but that posting is a bit disingenuous. The “salary” is not $120-$144K for a senior. It’s like <$50K base and then you *can* make those numbers in total compensation if you’re consistently and fully staffed and working your butt off because they pay you by the hour in addition to your salary

I think I’ve been unassigned a total of 4 days since starting last summer. Looking back thru bank statements, what I made at deloitte is laughable now looking at current paychecks

Not OP but as a FAAS S1 in MCOL I’m making $82k

@A1 you should seriously talk to your rl/hr if that’s seriously your comp because you’re getting A3A base fyi

Whatre you getting right now in FAAS ?

Agreed PwC 3!

Huh that is pretty decent. I got LinkedIn contact from that company without any details months ago. Would have been much more interested if I knew the details.

The senior manager just left for a role there. I don’t like the variable pay but it can be pretty lucrative

Hey guys. I used to do IB but I just left. I just recently started this new role at a tech company a few weeks ago and I got a message on LinkedIn about another opportunity that I think is a million times better. I spoke to the recruiter a few days ago and she knows I left IB but I didn’t tell her I started a new role. She asked if I have offers on the table and I said I have one offer but never mentioned my new role. What should I do?
