Depends on performance rating, but I believe it ranged from like 8% - 15% last year for managers.

Last year was 8% for me to. Amazing compared to audit but hoping this year is a little more. I’d expect managers 10-20%

Was that 8% as A or SA? I’m curious about the SA level

like

SA was 18% for tier 1 - Manager range is up to 25%

T3 is 3% - 7% and and T2 is 8% - 14%. Manager

Dang. I got 4.7% as an A2 in Audit who was rated T2 lol

My base as an A2 was $78K in the Midwest MCOL (Cincinnati, Minneapolis, Kansas City, Detroit, St. Louis). And my Tier 2 (above avg performer) bonus was 4.7% of that. Tier 2 bonus in Audit for Exp. Associates is 4% - 8%.
