So I recently got an offer from Deloitte for an Audit associate for $69K with no sign on bonus. Is this the standard rate? I feel like this is irregular since tax consultants get paid $72k starting. I feel like they are trying to undersell me since I'm transferring from a different service line ( tax). Regardless of that I have 2 internships worth of audit experience previously and will get my CPA on time . I know that big4 doesn't negotiate but should I ask for more? And if so, how?
Please evaluate this initial offer for Apple ICT3. I think I was low balled, but I want to take more opinions. Currently Sr. MTS at VMware, received Apple ICT3. I was expecting to get to ICT4 but seems like team thinks upper end of ICT3 is more apt. Also, I think it is because I don’t have any counter offers yet.
Received offer
Base: 185k
Sign on: 40k
RSU: 160k/4 years (Here is where I think it is low)
Location: Cupertino,CA
Current TC
229k
YOE: 3.5 years US / 6.5 overall(similar roles)

Based on historic inflation, a 200k salary in 30 years would be equivalent to 70k today...so yes you will be making 200k at least one day. 200k equivalent in 30 years would be about 550-600k.
I am 49 and make over $1M. I am in my 14th year as a partner at EY. I started making over $200K as a 2nd year Senior Manager in 2001 and was making $248K the year I made partner in 2005.
So for me those numbers are very attainable in your 30s.
PwC2 - good luck. This career has afforded me an amazing life. I hope you have a great career as well
I thought according to AOC we will all be dead in 12 years due to global warming
Won’t machines replace 80% of us in 20 years though?
Nah, Skynet will do away with all of us in 10.
I think it depends. I think you should be able to for the single reason that if you are big four you are a cut above the average person. Few people work to 2am willingly. You don’t need to be that smart to make money as is.
I know a lot of partners that make north of 1 mil
Probably hard to quantify. There are plenty that ‘stagnate’ but that are perfectly happy pulling in $125 base doing consolidations until they retire. Others want to progress outwards. Some get bored with purely accounting and lateral around for a while into other business areas
No, most people who leave will be in the low to mid 100s who leave as associate or senior. 200k at most companies is into management range. A lot of companies have controllers or CFOs at mid 100s as well. So that's their max for finance people at their companies. 200k is possible yes but obviously not every big 4 person will become a cfo.
Actually I don’t agree. I have been auditing for over 5 years and all ranked accounting people make lots of money. The Controllers make at least $200k and Accounting managers and director of IA over $180k and that’s in Atlanta where cost of living is low. I honestly believe it depends.
