Transferring from US to UK. What are the standard benefits you get as a big 4 senior manager/director? Like phone? Car? Fitness allowance?

Also, once you pass probation, it’s 3 months notice period - so you have much greater job security here. Our standard for maternity and paternity leave in the UK is going to blow your mind, and the same for sick leave - there isn’t a cap in the same way. PTO is just called annual leave here, and the base is higher too. You can expect c5k for car (which will be taxed at 40% and added to monthly pay so over a year it’s not going to feel like much), phone is usually paid for and you just get the device. KPMG have a lunch allowance usually, but doesn’t apply now. We don’t get a fitness allowance but there will be certain gyms you get a discount with but you’ll be locked in for a year.

You’ll get a good pension contribution, phone, car allowance as tax on company cars is excruciating in the UK. Depending on the firm there will be a wellness supplement of sorts. Private medical insurance like BUPA. Unlikely you’ll get dental. Cycle to work scheme participation ( you get a bike discounted and drawn off your salary so tax efficient). Life insurance and permanent disability cover.

So yeah you’re gonna get paid less but at least you’ll probably work less hours and not need to worry about what life throws at you, be that children, sickness or someone who wants to fire you

Happy December 1st! This is your reminder to use any career development funds before the end of the year. If your employer offers any kind of annual stipend for career development, make sure you’re using it! Same goes for free career coaching sessions offered as part of your EAP. Use those benefits before the year is over.

Hi, looking for some advice. I’ve been a medical assistant for 10 years, and am finishing up my bachelor’s in healthcare management. However finding hard looking for practice or office manager positions, as they’re looking for people with 3+ years of management experience. How can I get an organization to take the chance to invest in me and give me the opportunity to prove I have what it takes. We all have to start somewhere.

Obviously I don’t want to use all of our savings on the wedding but we also want to enjoy it since we know we have more stocks/income in the pipeline. Any advice on this?

I got selected in KPMG and getting a good 70% hike but i think i lowballed myself when the HR once again asked yesterday if i'm okay with the package. I immediately said i'm okay as they already accepted my initial quote and pushing them for more would be a greedy move.

but the thought that i could have gone for a higher package if i wasnt overwhelmed by their "we care for you" gesture is making me anxious.

This is my 1st shot at Big 4, so i am already excited & nervous.
