Which of the big 4 has the best compensation? What I have heard is Deloitte has lowest base but highest bonus, EY has the highest base but lowest bonus, PwC is 2nd in base and bonus.

EY OP - that’s why GT1 said “if you want to stay in public”. Agree that Big 4 looks better on your resume if you want to go to industry.

And mid-tier is not regional.. RSM, GT and BDO are as international as Big 4... I left Big 4 because I wanted to do more business development and start selling work as a Manager. In Big 4, up to SM, you’re pretty much behind your desk and doing your work - they dont encourage people to spend $$$ and time doing BD (i already spent $5k doing BD alone the past 7 months in RSM). I’m doing a lot more BD than even my senior managers at Deloitte - who don’t even know how to sell or find opportunities!

Plus EY OP, after leaving PwC, and spending 4 years at GT, I am leaving to join RSM soon. Throughout my search to leave, I have also received offers from reputable industry companies in my area, one being Koch Industries, not to mention I'm still receiving call backs for interviews. I chose to stay in public, so that's why I'm going to RSM in a more specialized area, which would be even more money (35% increase).

I have been talking to a recruiter for a little over a month about a position. I let her know out the gate that I really wasn’t looking to change jobs, but she just kept wanting to continuing the conversation. I didn’t have 2 interviews with the hiring coming and they know that I am not really looking to make a switch. They are now working on an offer letter and I know they’re going to offer me more money. I’m having my annual review this week. Any advice on how to handle a) job offer b) review?

There is a feeling in me that says “he’s going to be a comfortable life partner” and “he is just good enough, but if I break up I won’t find someone for a long time”
Do I stay?
