What are the dos and donts of obtaining a competitive offer to get a raise? What about timing? Is it tacky to do it right after promo season?

Don’t go through an interview solely for the purpose of getting leverage for a raise. It taints the relationship with your current employer because you’re essentially holding them hostage by doing that.

If you deserve a raise, request one. If it’s promo season, ask before they give raises. If it’s not enough, say something. All the while, be prepared to leave, you can find better money somewhere else.

I like my current job, company and public accounting. I know I am being underpaid at $70k as a senior tax associate with 2-3 years of experience as I have talked with my local peers as well as local recruiters. Also, I know outside hires to my company get paid about $5-$10k higher than me, but they don’t get a raise the following year. My question is what is everyone’s experience with company hopping to get a pay bump within public accounting?
