What is the argument for working in TAS after the salary gap between TAS and audit has narrowed? My hours and stress have both taken a beating when I moved from audit to TAS.

Better exit ops? I would still pick this job even if audit paid more

I also have these questions whether in long-term if FDD is really that much better than any other accounting because the hours are insane with no proper growth unless you work at a company with a higher pay like A&M or PWC

Holding aside compensation. M&A is much more interesting than audit. IMO.

What is audit paying these days? I’m shocked to hear that it’s close enough for this to even be a question.

M1 is so out of touch come

Salary gap is not that close above Experienced senior and manager. Sure Staff and S1/ early senior may be closer but its not like staff work in TAS is that much different than audit.

If you look at the actual charge rates for staff. FDD staff and Audit Staff rates don’t have a huge gap, hence not a huge gap in salaries. You answered your own question. This literally aligns with what I said earlier, the gap between audit and TAS is much larger at the Exp. senior, Manger, Senior Manager levels (the gap in bill rates is larger).

So yeah to Op’s point of audit salaries catching up, i mean it’s not like audit pays more than TAS. There is still more upside with experience. And also for most professions, you are generally paid based on your skills and experience. Pay definitely relates to the type of work you do.

I make nearly 2x my audit start class peers

Yes b4. More than 10 yoe, less than 15.

Asking for a friend:
My friend received two job offers for Account Executive roles: a Mid-Market role with Confluent and an Enterprise role with ThoughtSpot. He’s conflicted because Confluent is a more established company, ThoughtSpot is Pre-IPO. Confluent is a lucrative product to sell and has established SDR reps so there’s a good blend of inbound and outbound sales. Thoughtspot is more of a startup culture where most of the sales comes from outbound and it’s a tougher sell.
