Would you leave the big 4 as a senior 2 for a 15k pay increase and 5k sign on bonus in industry?

I go by % increase, has to be minimum 20% increase imo to consider jumping. 30% plus is ideal and I would highly consider.

Depends what company you’re jumping to. If big company, 20% enough for me, small prob like 40-50% increase

Calculate risk into it, search for that inner audit nerd inside of you

OP what is your current total comp and total comp at new company? What type of role is it? Where do you want to be in 5-10 years? Hard to answer without knowing more of the backdrop...high level you are leaving your network for like 1000 per month raise.

OP, give a little more info? If we’re just talking numbers, 15k doesn’t seem significant for someone who is a 2nd year senior auditor. If you’re just chasing money I would wait.

What company are you leaving for? Is it a job u really want? Do u need the pay bump for a specific reason? As to the increase being considered significant, that will vary by person to person, situation to situation. At the end, it’s your choice and you shouldn’t base your decisions off of a post on FB. life is short, do what you think is the right decision. If you were a good worker, u can always go back to Big4, that’s what I did, got a 45% increase to come back. Good luck bud

Sounds really low but agree on going by percentage. Just know that industry moves slower so if possible would wait until you can get a much higher title (and compensation).

Hell no

If I didnt like my job or didnt think I had a viable future in B4, sure.

No, I got a 10k raise from S1 to S2 with $6k bonus and I should get about the same next year, you won’t in industry

When I negotiated my comp, all my discussions were around me being a junior and I only accepted my comp for that reason (would not have accepted if I was step above junior since it was low).

How do I approach this with my boss as I’m not sure she’s aware I’m actually technically a junior? Revolving around asking for a move up + raise
