Hi all,
Do firms match offers from other Big 4s for campus hires? I’ve received a campus offer from both KPMG and EY. I’m more interested in the EY offer, but they are paying 3k less than KPMG.
Would it be a bad move to let them know about the other offer and try negotiating? I feel it wont make a difference in the long run, but at the same time I don’t want to leave any money on the table if possible.
Thanks!

Manager by 23 or you’re a dud
If straight from 3 year uni degree…
Con - 20-23
Senior - 24-26
Manager - 27-30
Senior Manager - 31-34
Director - 35+
Partner - 40+
Those are probably wide bands now that it’s on paper. There’s also always outliers, as others have mentioned. Could be a superstar and make partner by 32. Could restart your career and come in as a SC at 28. It’s very variable.
Not always. I’ve seen people make partner in 12 years or so, but they’re outliers. I’d hazard a guess the more normal trajectory would be partner by mid to late 30s - but with an average age of the entire cohort of 40+

Would depend on a lot of things including career path.
I think a career consultant who swapped firms in a well timed way would have a faster progression path than someone who stayed at the same firm. And I would imagine both of those groups are younger than those coming from industry.
Eg I am part of the first group and made M at a Big 4 in less than 3 YOE overall, at age 26. Then you have managers coming in with 10+ YOE from industry. Or partners making it in 10 years who started as grads versus an industry lateral into partner with 20+ YOE.
Hard to define an average. What about people who went to uni late or took longer to graduate etc.

Hey I jumped once. Went from Accenture grad analyst to senior analyst in about 15 months. After about 9 months at Senior analyst, jumped to big 4 at SC level. Then promoted to manager in 10 months at same big 4. Reason for my speed was the quick SA-M promotion. And fortunate timing when I joined the Big 4 (might not have been considered for promo for tenure reasons if I joined just a few months later) .
