The pay difference in Europe and Us is wide and alarming. Am I wasting time staying in Europe? A VP fund accountant in PE earns an averages of €100k and will be considered decent enough. Any thoughts on this? Is it time to relocate? Is Canada in the same earning power?

It is hard to say because the salary is only as good as it relates to the cost of living. The pay scale maybe higher in the US but would it cover the high cost of living? Remember in the US we have to pay for healthcare, have a sales tax on everything we buy and public transportation is not always an option. Things like this will cut your earnings down really quickly

Healthcare in the US is freaking expensive. I often think of relocating to Europe or Canada just because of that.

That's basically what you'd make in Canada or the US as a fund accountant too

I wish. I make 110 cad plus bonus after 6 years

Is $ and € almost on par still?

Yes they are close. €1 is around $0.97 now.

Well you might want to take into account in the US you’re paying a bunch for healthcare and also not sure what taxes/retirement look like in Europe

Hi there! You might have to consider things other than a better pay like cost of living, healthcare and insurance, and tax.

I am writing this message besides the staff group of EY GDS. Specifically Staff -1 at assurance level. I would request everyone to spare few minutes and read it -

Wanted to bring out that staff-1's are paid peanuts (3.33L CTC) please don't expect them to slog 12-13 hours. They don't have enough motivation or incentives to work that long. Seniors,AM's and Managers should be more kind and explain the work to them clearly rather than making last minute changes.
