What is the general reception to the Siegfried Group? High comp and an out from B4 but that isn’t worth it to me if it’s at the cost of development and career progression. Any tips for someone who is trying to jump ship from B4 as soon as possible?

For me, Siegfried is a bridge between public and industry. I didn’t want to jump into industry right away - I’m still trying to figure out which industry I want to work in and what I want to do. TSG was a good fit for that reason (and the ~54% raise didn’t hurt 😏). Some of the crap the firm gets on Fishbowl is justified, sure, but I’ve enjoyed my time here.

My hours are way better than public. I have more charge hours in a year, but my weeks are usually in the 48-50 hour range. I’m currently working on an IPO readiness project, but I was on an M&A integration one before this. So it’s very different from audit, but it’s keeping me from stagnating since I’m still constantly learning.

Hey fishes,

I got an offer from a company below is the compensation layout. Can you all tell me what will be the in-hand salary per month, will it be 49k?
I can see that EPF for employer is also deducted from my salary so this is not correct based on the EPF Act, is there some other thing which is not correct in the given Annexure?

Thank you!

To put it bluntly, I know certain people with less experience and a lower performance rating are getting paid more than me due to my role working with payroll data. I suspect this was due to the fact that I did not counter offer when I accepted this role, which was a few months ago, and now I regret it.
