What’s considered a good salary for an experienced external hire associate role at KPMG Deal Advisory-AAS in a HCOL (Los Angeles)?

Haven’t received my offer letter yet but my recruiter asked for my compensation expectation which I gave the range of $85k - $90k. Am I lowballing myself? Lol. I saw a PwC CMAAS experienced associate with a 92k salary with only 1 year of experience (external hire).

I got an offer for $80k with a 5k sign on. I’m negotiating for $85k but not sure either if I’m lowballing myself lol.

Your internal transfer will be less and since we’re on cohorts you won’t have room to negotiate FYI

Depends, kpmg hasn’t released their comp figures for the upcoming year. Not sure if they will be able to compete with PWC

Do you have your CPA?

Working on it

how many years of audit experience do you have?

Zero lol. I only had one year of advisory experience but have an accounting background and pursuing my CPA so that helped me secure an offer I believe.

Hello everyone, need a help from you.

Previously my HRA amount was 96000 per annum so I was submitting a rental agreement of full hra without giving pan card details of myself and first party.

Now I have recently joined a new company and here hra is 2.7LPA.

How can I claim the full hra amount? I live in a rented house where agreement is between owner and my dad. Also owner will not accept for a fake agreement too.

Any other alternative do I have to claim HRA? Your inputs are welcome here

I left Audit at a midsize firm to join KPMG erp implementation consulting about 6 months ago. So far they seem to only want to staff me on projects with a heavy focus on technical accounting and audit.

I've been on the fence about whether I should stay and hope to be staffed on better projects in the future or leave soon...
