Would appreciate feedback on this offer. Just got promoted to M1 in FDD at EY.
Manager FP&A at software unicorn. Base $115k, bonus 7.5%, approx $45k RSU’s vesting over 4 years. Work life balance is allegedly great, path to promotion to SM in 6-12 months. Comp feels like more of a lateral move but company culture seems great.

What is your COL? And how many YOE? This seems grossly underpaid from what I’ve seen (had higher offers at startups at the associate level in strategic finance)

This is MCOL, 5 YOE at EYY

Push for more, seems a little bit low.

Look at it over a 4 year period, a SM2 is making $205k-225k base at EY. In industry, if you start at 115k, and assume 1 10% promotion raise and 4% raises the rest…. You’ll be at $142k…

Also, how the hell are you a new M1 making $115k? I made more than that back in 2016.

like

I would suggest to push for a higher base. $115k should be around what you’d get as an M1 in FDD at EY. Maybe try for $130k?

like

Thats good, that means they are flexible a bit. So ask for $130/125 and push for 1.5x (appx. 70k) RSU they are offering you?

Location? Seemed just ok not great offer but not too bad

The key is really how much growth you can expect in future years. If your total compensation is remaining flat for next five years this is then a bad offer

That would be 15k lower than a 3 rated s2 in FDD. Then again, I'm speaking from an HCOL area. Need to evaluate your growth trajectory at the unicorn and what your goal is in 5 to 10 years. The jack-of-all-trades finance role under a strong CFO can be a great learning experience that gets you ready for VP of finance type roles (and ultimately CFO). There are also dead end FP&A roles where you are siloed to one part of the income statement doing monthly budgets. If you're losing on comp, you better be gaining on experience.

I’m making 110k as a new S1 in FDD - HCOL. Wouldn’t surprise me if a high performing S2 was close to 130k.

I’m a 6th year associate at an AmLaw 50 firm. I received an offer to go in house at a hedge fund thats been around for a few years. Pay is identical to a 6th year associate in Big Law. Bonus is guaranteed for 2022. Culture seems legit and I believe work life balance is achievable. Is it worth making the jump to go from Big Law to a hedge fund that is in a growth stage? Thoughts and opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Dir. retired, then VP retired 1 mnth later, new AVP was hired and talked abt moving me up to Mgr and then working to get me to be a Dir bc I lack mgmt exp. on my resume. My promotion is having me skip 2 levels of mgmt but only a 10% increase and now AVP said might still be looking to hire a Dir as soon as our hiring pause is lifted. I also keep getting told that Mgr title will help me grow even if I look for a job elsewhere. Am I right to think I’m getting told to look for another job?
