$110k. New managers make about $100k. The way our comp works, if you are an external hire and are paid above your peers, you just get super small raises so the gap narrows. Then when you are promoted to Sr Mgr you’ll be evened out completely with your peers.

Applied here and interviewed (presumably to the final round) and didn’t end up with an offer, I think due to the specific experience I’ve had so far. I want to definitely try again in the future when I get more experience. Is there a specific grace period that is ideal? Would this look bad if I apply again since I’ve been rejected before?

Moving from big 4 firm to big 4 firm. Waiting for my salary and sign on bonus. Do you think it makes sense to ask for the sign on be applied to my salary? Like if offered 75k with 5k sign on then should I just ask for 80k no sign on. I don’t want to loose my bonus if I have stay a year or two. I also know there is a lot of tax coming out of bonuses. Either way it pretty much nets the same tax wise.
