Additional Posts in Compensation, Salary and Bonus
Hi all. I am trying to determine if I am being compensated fairly. I am a tax manager (about to start my second year as manager) and have been with EY since staff 1. I was promoted to manager in June 2020 (during covid) and received a 7.5% raise. The class above me has mentioned they received much higher raises during their promotion years. My base salary is now approx. 97K. Any insights would be extremely helpful. Thanks!

I used to work in one of the valuation teams at a competing firm (similar playing field as blackstone) out of college as a associate back in 2016 ish. At that time seniors were looking at around a 110k base and 25% bonus. Has to be at least 15-25% more total comp now.
Keep in mind tho that valuation roles are back office. The real money is obvs among the acquisitions/asset management teams.
I don't know there comp. However, I know that when Kroll ( formerly Duff & Phelps) reached out to me they said 120k base was fine, and they do like 10-20% bonus. If you're doing RE valuation, and trying to get certified you should definitely leave a place like say any if the big four or lil bros like that. Why? Well you'll be working double the years to get certified because you're wasting your time on audit assignments not getting qualified hours. All thr while you won't be a manager because well... they want you to get certified. So you're easily missing out on 100k or more while you could making real bread as just a senior at any other shop, and getting that license much quicker. Food for thought homie
