What do you think if you found out that your peers got a higher salary increase but you got the bigger bonus?

Have you actually seen their pay reports or some formal documentation of the raise? Maybe they are just lying to you.

I think they're lying. Raises are slotted by ranking. There's no chance they were rated lower than you but got a higher salary increase. That just doesn't happen.

How does that happen? Both salary and bonus are slotted and based on rating.

Also maybe they started lower than you and need a bigger market bump

I work with someone who got a lower rating than me, but got a bigger raise...we started at the same salary...it makes no sense to me

It's someone I trust, and we started exactly the same

Definitely a credible source

I agree with PwC 1 - it happens and it's legit. I started the same time as my peers at my old firm, actually with more busy season experience than everyone but one peer, and I was making $6-7k less than them and I always had higher ratings than them as well. All my close friends confirmed what they were making and it was frustrating when they knew I deserved more than them for the amount of work I was doing. So I went and found another job, they made promises to bump up the pay, never did. Raise and promotion time last year was a slap in my face so I switched to EY FAAS instead.

@EY2 were you pdubs before?

No, middle market at BDO.

I heard that internal candidates have much lower salary ranges for promotions / transferring teams. So much so that some people will leave the company a year just to come back to a more competitive offer.

I am in the running for a 2 band level promotion - if / when it gets to salary discussions, should I still try to negotiate? What are peoples thoughts? I would be going from an entry level role for 1 year to a senior role, but I still want a fair compensation compared to other hires.
