It depends what firm you are with, in my experience boutique (A&M etc) > b4 > regional firms (BDO). And CFE adds no value, money wise.

Depends on the firm and also whether you’re a senior or still at entry level. Big 4 probably $60-$80K for an associate and $80-$110K for a senior, with EY being at the low end and PwC on the high end of that scale. You can probably get 25% more at a consulting firm. Places like A&M will probably have lower bases but can pay you 40% more in total comp after bonus

Sounds like a big difference in wages between US and Canada! Thankful for tools like this for increasing transparency- I didn’t think 91k was bad until I’d moved to industry and experienced a bump to $140k. I’d initially put it down to “b4 firms pay poorly” but perhaps I was being underpaid at an individual level too

My company covers in depth results each week, including meetings set/attended, wins, revenue, retention etc. I feel as if evaluating in such depth is detrimental to the psyche, as you never get to “ride the high.” In addition, some weeks are simply slower than others, and it’s not always representative of what the results at the end of the period or quarter will be. Is this not a big deal, and I’m I placing too much importance on it? Or is it beneficial to review results less frequently?

I was wondering if the review course “CPE Self Study Course” for the CFF was enough preparation to study and pass the CFF exam. The CFE review course was enough and like if you get a question wrong it explains it well so that when it comes up in a different way in the real exam you can still get it. But when I saw the outline for the CFF material and there seems to be a lot of topics so I was wondering if the review course was sufficient considering this exam is also multiple choice. Thanks!
