Those of you who have successfully asked for a raise in public accounting. How did you approach it?

You either crank their hog or show a competing offer

I did the same and ended up accepting the competing offer 😂😂

I got a competing offer and was willing to walk

This is the way.

Ask for a raise? You get what they give you at the end of your fiscal year along with everyone else bro. If you don't like it you can find another gig that'll pay you what you think youre worth.

“What you think youre worth” is whatever another firm is willing to pay you

As everyone has said, get a competing offer. Just be ready to walk. Don’t be dumb and go in without a offer as they will probably just pay you on the back and say get out

Does anyone know if the government allows remote work overseas? Or does anyone have a similar experience?
Thanks!
