Based on the offers I’ve had, salary discussions with my friends and peers, and discussions on this platform, I think the highest comp is at the mid tier and large local firms.

Big 4 has terrible pay; I’ve been in the position of receiving offers from super small local, large local, mid size, and big 4 at the same time. My Big 4 offers were more in line with small local than anything else. I have a colleague who just took a pay cut to go work at Big 4. And I’m often shocked to see how low Big 4 salaries posted here are.

Hello, after doing some research I believe I’m being underpaid. About 4 months ago HR did a market analysis for my role. They bumped my salary for about $2k.

I’m currently making $61,000 with bonus included. Based on my research I should at least be making $71,400. I have a check in with my boss tomorrow and I am asking for a raise.

Finished my loop for a marketing role 2 weeks ago, and got an email the next day that they wanted to give me an offer. Had my initial call with recruiter to put the offer together. It was lower than I expected, and we ended that call positively as I needed some time to consider, and we agreed to follow up in a few days. It’s now been a week and both recruiters have been unresponsive. Did I just lose this offer bc I tried to negotiate a more equitable comp pack, or is it a slow process?
