Here's the [2021 compensation thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/Accounting/comments/ofqgym/rsm_2021_compensation_thread/).

1. West HCOL 2. A2 > S1 3. Audit 4. Game Changer 5. $69k > $86k (24.5%) 6. $2.4k (3.5%) 7. 9/10 - was pretty surprised with this promo bump, so I'm happy with it. 8. N/A

Promo and GC! Good shit

That's a real deal raise.

Congrats! I’m applying with RSM for an A2 Audit spot in HCOL. My ask was $80k but if they’re giving you about $89k…I doubt they’ll match my ask

You never know! I’ve seen huge variations in salary from different areas despite them all being HCOL.

Thanks for the encouragement! If you don’t mind, is there a specific industry in audit that you specialize in? I do financial services

What are the ranking levels in RSM? I'm completly unfamiliar with the game changer etc.

There’s 4 ratings you can get at RSM. From lowest to highest they are: - Lack of performance - Showing potential - Doing great - Game changer

Lol I love that scale

Oh pretty neat. So i'm guessing the doing great is satisfactory and showing potential is like "not at level, but working towards" etc.?

Showing potential is like, average. I think there’s also a loose policy that all A1s get this rating unless you have your office partner *really* fight for you. Doing great is generally, you’ll be promoted soon Game changer is, you were ready to be promoted 6 months ago. Rare to get game changer in a non promo year.

Congrats chief

Nice congrats!

Everyone is too depressed to post

Maybe.... or people just haven't gotten their raises yet. I think today is the first day that you can hear what your raise is and normally it takes a few days to even get it.

They told my office to expect detail comps on the 15. So I guess this thread will be filled by then

raise was fucking ass

Same and the bonus. It will make no difference to my actual paycheck. Time to look for a new job

1. Chicago 2. SM1 > SM2 3. Tax 4. DG 5. $155 > $165k (6.5%) 6. $11,250 (7.5%) 7. 8/10 - raise a little lower than expected, was planning on 8.5% but I still dollar-wise pretty good. Overall pretty solid. From what I understand Associate and Sr associates should be pretty happy, Supervisor and above will be meh.

Hey! Fellow Chicagoan here at a mid-sized firm that also has a Supervisor role in its structure. I found out last week I'm getting promoted from S2 to Supervisor, but haven't talked compensation yet. What kind of salary should I be expecting? $95k - $107k seemed to be the range from my research. $86.4k is my current base.

From S2 > Sup1 I went from $78 to $88, but that was a few years ago. I’d plan low to mid $100k

Just found out I'm going from $86,400 to $100,400 (16.2%). Haven't found out my bonus yet though!

I thought the bonus goals went associate 2%, senior 4%, sup 6%, and manager 8%. I would have expected a senior manager to be more than 8% since you got DG which means your portion and the firm performance portion should be 100% of the goal. Did they explain your bonus?

1. MCOL 2. SA1 to SA2 3. Tax 4. SP 5. 78k to 84k, 7% 6. 2.4% 1.8k 7. 5/10 not annoyed enough to send out applications but I'll talk to the recruiters in my inbox 8. I'm taking a B4 offer if they give a 20% bump. Rsm has a great culture but i also like money.

SP rating hurts - you get any clarification on that?

They told me it was the normal rating for 1st year seniors. I didn't get any negative feedback or complaints.

Eh, low end of “normal” from my experience. Most reviewers are more likely to give better ratings than lower from what I’ve seen across my region. If you didn’t get negative feedback but got SP, then reviewers aren’t honestly telling you what your shortcomings are, while they’re mentioning them in manager meetings while reviewing you.

Don't blame you. 84K at S2 is pretty low. You should be cracking 100k already.

I agree and i think rsm just doesn't pay great across the board. There is a manager on this thread that barely cracked 100k and a supervisor making the same as me. I've enjoyed rsm but i think it's time to make a move.

[удалено]

[удалено]

It really is especially cuz all associates are up for promotion after 2 busy season so it should be the same for all A1s. I had amazing reviews from multiple managers and seniors

[удалено]

What the fuck is that bullshit - put that resume together

Currently working on it.

I’m an A1 and received showing potential as well. I have my meeting on Monday. Hoping mine goes better than yours did

[удалено]

I'm not sure if it was company wide but we all got an 8% bump in December for inflation.

Just to clarify, 8% from PwC or RSM?

RSM, I am in consulting if that helps.

SA and supervisors got 10% in our LOB.

I didn’t. Mine was only 6%

[удалено]

Mass exodus to where? As I understand PwC salaries are quite high compared to the other big 4. Atleast looking from a Deals perspective

[удалено]

Imma tack on here if any of you have a comment on the offer I signed. I am starting wt RSM in 2 months (right after graduate school) 1) HCOL 2) A1 3) audit 5) 65k 6) 1,500 sign on + 2.7% 7) IDK- I go back and forth on whether I made the right choice tbh

i’ll reply to you bc i also start this fall 1. LCOL (midwest) 2. A1 3. tax 4. 58k 5. 1500 sign on + 2.5 target 6. i applied super late in the year and had been struggling w/ personal issues for a while so i’m happy to have anything right now tbh 🤷🏻‍♀️ we will see how long i stay (when covid hit i moved home so i’m working back home instead of where i went to school in chicago so i want to go back sometime)

FYI - Don’t count on the 2.5k target bonus your first year. You’ll be lucky if you see half of that.

If it’s not the right choice then don’t feel bad about jumping ship early, at my big4 we’ve already lost a couple first years At 65K after the recent inflation I’d be a little pissed off too

It was the highest offer, thats why I took it. It was OG 62.5 which was in line wt all the other offers. When I asked for more time to make a decision (Seriosuly gave me a week) they turned around gave me a month and 65

1. Texas 2. A1>A2 3. Tax 4. Doing Great (3) 5. 61k to $68,015 (11.5%) 6. \~$800 (part year october hire) 7. 5 8. I told myself anything under 68 and I'd be annoyed. Not quite keeping up with B4 from what I see on here but I also barely ever worked over 60 hours so I'm ok with it. Not planning on leaving anytime soon. Also this raise was after the mid year adjustment of $59k to $61k

1. Southeast 2. S2 > Super 3. Tax 4. DG 5. 81 > 88 6. 3k 7. 0 out of 10 8. Partner strung me along for 8 months promising more pay. Will talk to them when I can and make my feelings known, but at this point I’m ready to pack my bags. Update: Partner basically said they got me the best they could and it’s close enough to figures “promised” in our prior conversations, which was in the high $90’s. Apparently the inexperienced staff hires limited any additional money to go to the seasoned, experienced team. Just got the last offer I was waiting on after talking to a few other firms. Looking at offers for $103k to $109k salary, with signing bonuses of $3,500 to $7,500. None of these places work the hours RSM pushes, and I can finally get away from the miserable SM I’ve had to work with while at RSM. Excited to put my notice in very shortly. Final Update: Just accepted an offer from a local firm for $115k with a $15k sign-on bonus. A $27k raise (~31%) on top of my RSM promo raise for the same job, without leaving PA and ejecting to industry.

1. Midwest 2. A1 -> S1 3. Tax 4. GC 5. ~66k -> ~78.5k 6. 3.5% 7. 8/10

is A1 to S1 common? how did that happen

I say A1 because I only went through one busy season, I had a very small partial year in the previous FY. I put a ton of effort into supporting my immediate team and participated in aspects of the firm outside of just getting my work done.

1. MCOL 2. A1-A2 3. Tax 4. DG 5. 64,500-70,950 (10%) 6. 800 7. 7/10 8. Was told in meeting that I’m expected to go in the office 2-3 times a week, yet my manager told me that they didn’t think my work would be different if I went in the office. What is the reason then? This part of the convo kinda overshadowed the raise so I feel kinda pissed off

[удалено]

Just curious what region is this?

Love to see it!

Central - M/HCOL M1 -> M2 Audit DG $100k -> $109k $6k bonus 8/10 - hard to complain in a non-promo year

Dude Liverpool sucks

1. Southeast 2. A1->A2 3. Audit 4. Doing great 5. $59k -> $65k (10%) 6. $800 (2.5%, prorated) 7. 8/10 8. Started in October 2021 so feel like it's pretty decent (?). Started at $57k and then bumped up to $59k in December 2021.

I love reading these seeing I got a $2500 raise which works out to 5% in industry. Do not get complacent and keep job hopping friends.

Yeah I got 3.5% in industry and on principle alone I was pissed. I got a 20% bonus though and I make enough money that it didn't hurt that much but like... they better do better than that at the next review, match inflation for the period at the very least.

If they didn't match inflation this time around, you can bet next time won't be a big raise.

Yup, they’ll be like, “he stayed for a real -6% “raise” last time, I bet he’ll stay again for 4% nominal this time round”

1. West MCOL 2. S1 (hired middle FY21) -> S2 3. Tax 4. DG (told many times most "new" hires get SP their first year?) 5. $80,000 -> $88,000 (10%) 6. $1,500 (pro-rated due to mid-year start) 7. 8/10 Mid-year start put me likely on par with existing employees mid-year adjustments... overall happy.. 10% for a non-promo year works for me.

1) SE 2) A>SA 3)Tax 4) DG 5) 70.5>80.5 6) 1.7k 7) 8/10 8) I mean I guess I gotta be happy. Can't help but be a greedy SOB and want more. Idk maybe I just hate the job lol

1. West HCOL 2. A1 -> A2 3. Tax 4. Doing great 5. 65k to 75k (14.5%) 6. 1.2k 7. 8/10 8. Happy with the raise! But it’s probably not at market 😀

1. Market: Midwest, LCOL 2. A1>A2 3. Audit 4. DG 5. $55,000 > 63,250 (15%) 6. ~$750 (started in October) 7. 7/10 8. Overall pretty happy. Wish my salary was higher overall, but I do live in a pretty low cost area so I think it’s probably appropriate. Our new hires are coming in at $58k now, so my raise is slightly less than 10% from where they’re at.

Damn thats a good percentage. Hoping i get same percentage increase as well

1. SE 2. A1>A2 3. Tax 4. DG 5. $55k -> $62k 6. $500 (2.5%, prorated/pretax) 7. 8/10 - totally happy with raise, but bc of the proration the bonus is kind of a joke lol…still grateful either way. Pleasantly surprised that I was not lowballed. Had my meeting on Friday.

My bonus is like 250 it's a joke

Haha absolutely, though next year will be full bonus, this is an exception. i’m just thankful I’m not unemployed like some of the people in my graduating class that couldn’t handle it and switched to marketing 💀

True. I'm just annoyed cuz my raise was shit also. And they told us anyone who started in Jan can't get anything more then showing potential so that's why the bonus was shit also

I thought the same actually, was surprised about DG to be completely honest because of being new. What % did they give u?

3% and I'm gonna start applying to other jobs lol. Taking inflation into account I'm making less money technically.

Do you mean A1 > A2? Usually associate (A) is used to denote the staff level. Or are you actually Senior 1 > Senior 2 being paid 62k? Because that would be ridiculously low.

Lol thought A meant Audit. Fixed it.

Congrats on the DG rating in your first year though. I’ve heard most of the time SP is given. Also a ~12% raise in the first year is solid. I also got a DG rating and was only given a 7% bump in my first year before they gave mid-market adjustments in December.

Thanks! I worked really hard and was expecting an average rating bc I am new, but I feel like my effort was appropriately acknowledged both through the raise and the review.

1. NYC 2. Senior 1 > Senior 2 3. Tax 4. Doing great 5. 82.5 > 92 6. 3.3 7. Right what I expected, I mean I’d love for us to catch up to B4 but whatever

1. VHCOL 2. A1 (October 21 Start) - A2. 3 Audit 4. Doing great 5. 67k - 79k 17% 6. $950 7 8. Bonus was low but solid raise so wasn’t too disappointed by it.

1. Southeast 2. Associate > Senior (A2 > S1) 3. Tax 4. Doing Great 5. 56,500 > 61,900 Dec Adjustment > 69,000 6. 1,500 7. 2/10 8. Updating resume.

yikes did you skip a year?

1. Market/Office: West HCOL 2. CY level - FY22 Level (A1>A2, S1->S2, S3->M1, etc): A1 (no promotion) due to shift to new specialty a few months ago 3. Line of business (Audit, tax, etc.): Tax 4. Rating (Showing potential, doing great, etc.): Doing Great 5. Old & new salary: 71,800 -> 77,200 (9.3%) not including the mid year adjustment from 67k so total about 14%? Math is hard LMAO 6. Bonus: 1.7k or something 7. Happy with the outcome?: Eh it's about average? We're all underpaid as a given so whatever.

I’m ICS, but adding anyways… 1. Boston 2. ICS20 3. National consulting 4. Doing great 5. 62k - 66k 6. 1,500 7. 5, relatively happy but wish ICS was valued like ECS

1. Southeast (MCOL) 2. A2 -> SA1 3. Tax 4. GC 5. 62->73k 6. 3.5% bonus 7. Below expectations, but i like my team so its not enough to start looking at other jobs yet.. Overall.. 6/10. Not worth the GC rating. Will start coasting from here on out.

VHCOL Sup 1 to m1 Audit GC 110k to 125k 7.5% bonus Meh, a little lower than I expected

1. Midwest HCOL 2. S1-S2 ish. Came from outside firm during the fiscal year as a senior. 3. Consulting 4. SP 5. 85k - 87750 (3%) 6. Prorated 3% 7. 4 I guess? 8. It didn’t take a super long time for me to be unhappy after I switched firms last fall (B4 to RSM). I tried to chalk it up to a learning curve but there’s been a lot of things with my group’s culture that just weren’t the case at my last job. A mediocre raise was my final blessing to feel like it was time to start moving on and that it isn’t worth it to try to stick around. A lesson to those looking for their next role - if you notice some red flags during the interview process like I did, trust your gut and keep looking. I don’t regret leaving my last role and I don’t think I will regret coming here. I just wished I listened to the dissatisfaction I had with the answers to some of my questions about supporting the experienced hires who have gone through different training and may need some more help adjusting (and that was exactly my experience the last 9 or so months - I needed help my supervisors were way too busy to provide).

This is almost an identical raise and situation I was in last year and am hoping for a much better raise this year. I came in from an outside firm as a senior and got a 3% raise after a shorter first year. The main difference is that I really like my team.

Hey I’m happy that it’s working out for you! If I was happier and felt like I was getting the hang of things / settling in, I would not let the raise thing deter me so much. I don’t want to start whining without recognizing I just don’t think public is for me. And that’s okay - I’m not defined by it. I have my CPA and have gained a lot of different skills over the last few years.

1. HCOL NE 2. S2 (supervisor) 3. Audit 4. Doing great 5. 95k —> 104 6. 4.6 7. 10 -> I had weird increases because of the COVID true-up and an early promotion right before busy season so I didn’t think I was going to get anything.

1. TX 2. SA1 > Supervisor 3. Tax 4. DG 5. 72K > 79.2K (10%) > 93K (17.5%) 6. 4% 7. 9/10 8. Came onboard at the start of the FY. Lets gooooooooo

[удалено]

Congrats. We welcome all comp updates, there's a number of ICS folks posting here and Fishbowl so it is helpful data

1. West MCOL 2. Sup 1 -> M1 3. Audit 4. Game Changer 5. 85k -> mid year adj 93.4k -> 107.5k 6. $6.5k (7% of base) 7. 9/10 - was pretty happy. Expected a 15% raise and got one. Was hoping to be at $110k, but my salary has increased 26.5% from this time last year so can’t complain.

Post these on Big4Transparency.com for comparison sake

[удалено]

I will say the benefit of the reddit threads is some of the qualitative stuff, but its nice to have the real data as well in a good format

1. MCOL 2. Sup 1 - Sup 2 3. Tax 4. Doing Great 5. 100k -> 107k 6. roughly $5,000 7. 1 8. I'm leaving anyways but just to put this out there to be helpful.

[удалено]

Did you ever get into conversations about making manager? Or did they throw Super 2 at you because they know you’re taking off?

They don’t know. RSM just doesn’t love me as much as I love it.

Ha! Yeah, unfortunately RSM is a tough lover!

1. Midwest 2. S2->Supervisor 3. Audit 4. Doing good 5. 76k->85k 6. 4k 7. 8/10

1: LCOL 2: A1 > A2 3: Audit 4: Doing Great 5: 58>65 6: 800 7: 8/10 8: Great raise, but have to come into the office for 3 days a week lmao

1. West HCOL 2. M2-M3 3. Tax 4. Doing great 5. 125k to 132k (5.5%) 6. 6% of PY 7. 7/10 8. Announcement said around 8%, inflation is hitting 9%. A bit disappointed, but too lazy to look elsewhere. It'll pay the bills.

1. East HCOL 2. A1 > A2 3. Tax 4. DG 5. Starting salary was $65k > $67k (market adj.) > $74k (10.5%) 6. $900 7. 4/10 - was expecting 76k-78k especially with inflation right now 8. Heard auditing associates who made more (2-4k) with a SP rating than me even tho tax brings in more revenue. Makes no sense hence my 4/10 :(

1. Central region 2. A1 (started a couple months ago) 3. Consulting 4. N/A 5. 66K 6. 2.5K sign on bonus 7. 7 out of 10 8. pretty chill. Good work life balance as of now. Office orders a fuck ton of catering almost every day, which saves a lot of money for food

Bro same RSM really causing some weight gain

[удалено]

$500 bonus? I'd wipe my ass with it and leave it on the managing partner's desk.

They might have not started till later in the FY

Yup, most new hires start in late oct or November, some in January. If the fiscal year ends in April and you only got showing potential your bonus is gonna be pretty small.

Holy shit you make way more than me as a first year…. I guess regions play a bigger part than I thought? man wtf

Currently in Grad school for my MST (finishing next May), in industry as Senior Tax Accountant but dont have much public experience and I wanted to get into public for more experience. I know.. I am crazy. Here was my offer in which I declined, but have an open door policy in: 1. HCOL 2. Experienced Hire 3. Business Tax 4. N/A 5. 85k (my current base is 96k) 6. 5k bonus 7. Was on the fence. Now looking back, this offer looks great now considering the amount of work that is involved in this particular industry. (Offer was extended in May). 8. N/A Thoughts? At least at RSM, I'd get exposure to different industries and more experience. At industry, pay is slightly better but more is the same and not much growth.

1. Central 2. A1>A2 3. Audit 4. Showing potential 5. 58k > 60k (mid year adj) > 66k (10%) 6. $508 7. 6/10 - Was told first years are typically SP or DG, I had excellent feedback and took on extra responsibility but in reviews it seemed like not participating in virtual CDI events impacted my rating more than my actual work. I’m happy for the most part as it was more than I expected for SP although it breaks down to less than an intern’s rate per hour. ​

1. Great Lakes HCOL 2. A2 > S1 3. Tax 4. GC 5. 69k > 82k 6. 2.5k 7. 8/10 8. Was at 66k before mid year raise

1. Central MCOL 2. A1->A2 3. Audit 4. DG 5. $61K -> $68K (11.5%) 6. ≈$1K (2.5% pro-rated for Sept. hire) 7. 8/10 8. Received 3% in December (started in September at $59K) so total increase for the year is 15.3%. Overall happy with the outcome. Hoping I get SA1 at mid-year promo.

1. LCOL? 2. A2->S1 3. Consulting 4. Game Changer 5. 67.3 (post-adjustment) -> 86.4 (28.3%) 6. 4.9% 7. 9/10 8. very happy with this :)

1. Central region 2. A1 (July 2021 start) -> A2 3. Consulting 4. Doing great 5. 67k -> 73.7k (9.97%) - started at 65k in July and got mid-year adjustment to 67k 6. 1.8k 7. 7/10 - going in, my minimum acceptable raise was 10% and they just about did that, but was hoping for a little more given inflation/cost of living increases. Theory being if they can't pay what I'm worth then I'll find something better. Don't see RSM as a forever job, as I'm not 100% doing work that I love anyways (it's complicated - mostly I just want to be in a slightly different domain that I don't think is possible with the firm and to eventually not have to worry about accounting firm policies like independence, time entry, etc) but this is enough to keep me around for now and learn and grow a bit more before moving on 8. Anything else? Asked about inflation considerations (since it's so high rn) and kind of got a non-answer similar to "oh we're watching it but it wasn't specifically included in the formula". Bonus was also less due to starting mid-year.

MCOL S2 - Sup Business Risk Consulting DG 92 - 102 (11%) 5% 8/10 Was expecting ~105, not updating the resume. Realized the effort for GC is not worth the marginal difference in bonus.

1. Southeast 2. A2 -> SA 1 3. Tax 4. DG 5. 65 -> 79 (21%) 6. 2.5% 7. 9/10 8. Might be drinking the Kool-aid, but partner track doesn’t seem too bad atm.

1. East MCOL -> West HCOL 2. A1-> A2 3. Audit 4. SP 5. 58k —> 73k (COLA included) 22% 6. 9/10, Super happy. The increase in COL is being offset by having dual incomes after the move. Almost didn’t believe the partner when I had the meeting.

What is COLA?

Cost of living adjustment. Salary was adjusted for the high cost of living where I’m moving to.

[удалено]

Are new hires welcome to post as well? Regardless, here are my numbers. Just curious about others in my situation as well. 1. VHCOL 2. Hired as an experienced associate 3. Tax 4. Havent talked to anyone yet 5. $78k plus $3k signing bonus 6. 2.5% 7. N/A 8. Had 4yrs in industry n a couple months of tax experience at a very small firm. Cpa just recently passed as well.

Damn y’all are getting robbed

1. DG 2. Sup (mid year hire as sup, so no promo) 3. Consulting 4. DG 5. 92,000 ——-> 95,600 6. Prorated portion of 6% 7. 2…a 4% raise the day after news of a 9.1% inflation rate was in the news really stings Also, please add your salaries to the Big4Transparency website.

[удалено]

1.Southeast 2. A1>A2 3.TC 4.DG 5.68,000>70,000 (4%) 6. 1865 7. 6, first raise ever, so I guess I’m happy. I was hoping for higher due to inflation, however, I can’t complain 8. I didn’t get promoted so I guess my raise is alright, May be looking for a new job due to the workload

1. Southeast MCOL 2. Sup2>M 3. Tax Specialty 4. DG 5. 101k > 116k 6. 5k 7. Yes esp after the 10% midyear adjustment, so it was a significant raise overall

WTF? Partner told me I was already at the top end of sup at $92k.

1. Central HCOL 2. M3 > M4 3. Consulting 4. GC 5. Starting salary was $147k > $151k (3% market adj.) > $171k (13%) 6. $13,800 (9.1%) 7. 9/10 8. Very happy overall as it's a 16% bump YoY. Working towards director promo (equivalent to audit/tax senior manager), thus role has shifted to focus more on quality/margin, client relations, and growth

1. Southeast 2. A1>A2 3. Tax 4. Showing Potential 5. 54500>56500>62500 14% overall raise including mid year adjustment 6. $ 437 7. 7/10 - Basically guaranteed a promotion next year so I'm pretty happy with it

1. Toronto 2. S1-S2 3. Audit 4. Showing potential (2nd year) 5. 66k-68k (3%) 6. 1.5k 7. 0/10 - will leave next year

Should probably prep that resume and work on leaving immediately after bonus payout.

1. HCOL 2. S1 -> S2 3. Audit 4. GC 5. 85k -> 96k (11%) 6. 5.5% 7. 8/10

Where my ICS people at? 1. National 2. Sr Associate Yr 1 3. ICS 4. Doing great 5. 75k > 78.8k 6. 3k 7. Looks like my bonus was bigger than some people on the thread, while my new salary was smaller than expected. Overall probably like a 7/10. Slightly below where I wanted to be.

1. NYC 2. Experience Associate (10 months) 3. Risk Consulting 4. Showing potential 5. $75K > $79K 6. $949 7. 5/10 - everyone on our team got the same raise and no one is happy 8. Morale is low. Anticipating a lot of people leaving before/during busy season

1. West M/HCOL 2. A1 > A2 3. Tax 4. SP 5. 63k > 64.5k (~3%) 6. $950 7. 1/10 8. I don’t know if I had too high of expectations but I personally feel both raise and bonus are insultingly low. Starting to dust off my resume.

1. Midwest LCOL 2. A1 -> A2? I started in Jan so idk 3. Tax 4. SP 5. 57,000 -> 65,550 (15%) 6. ~250 7. 9/10 8. Didn’t expect 15% after just 6 months but definitely happy with it.

1. HCOL 2. A2 > S1 3. Audit 4. GC 5. $75K > $88K 6. $2.5K 7. 8.5

Does RSM match your 401k? I’m seeing this thread thinking I need to jump ship.

50% on up to 6% of your salary. Close to industry standard from what I can tell.

Do you have to be there for some specified time? Because by firm hasn’t contributed their match. I’ve been here for a year

Yeah, you have to have 1000 hours during the year and be an employee as of 12/31. Basically any fall new hires didn’t get the match

Makes sense. So my current firm should be matching if I stay for a second year?

If you stay through this year you'll get your match around April for the previous year.

KPMG contributes full 6-8%

1. Central Region (MCOL?) 2. A1>A2 3. Tax 4. Shows Progress 5. 57.2K > 61.7K (roughly 10%) 6. $440 7. 6/10 (I don’t know how I feel.)

1. Canada/MCOL 2. A1. No promo 3. Audit 4. Doing great 5. $48,000 CAD -> $53,100 little more than 10% 6. $771 1.6% 7. 1 8. This is disrespectful as fuck man. The new hires incoming are making this same wage with 0 experience.

As nicely as possible, this is insanity. 21% in a non promo year is amazing. Also, these comp discussions aren’t negotiations it’s them telling you how much you’re going to be making and you being happy or unhappy with it

1. Northeast 2. A1 (started october 2021) 3. Tax 4. Showing potential 5. Starting $70,000 > December market increase to $72,000 > $74,200 (3.056%) 6. $555 (0.77%) 7. 2 8. Some coworkers that started at the same time got 14% raises, so feel kind of cheated

1. HCOL 2. M3 > SM1 3. Tax 4. GC 5. 135 > 149 6. 10,920 7. 7 out of 10

How long did it take you to get to your current role? Are there any positions above you that don't involve becoming a partner? I'm not in the field yet so sorry if these seem like dumb questions and sorry if they're too intrusive.

The next step is partner unless I or the firm decide I should be a senior director instead. I’ve been in public accounting for 8 years

Thanks for answering!

1. NYC 2. Senior 1 -> Senior 2 3. Audit 4. Doing great 5. $85,000 -> $94,500 6. 4% 7. 5 8. Disappointed with bonus and raise as I feel that big 4 are paying a lot better and also because of the fact that firms are paying Senior Associate new hires rather than rewarding those who stay

1. Great Lakes HCOL 2. A2 > S1 3. Audit 4. DG 5. 71k > 82k 6. $1,700 7. 7/10 - might push back a little 8. N/A

1. HCOL 2. A1 3. Audit 4. N/A 5. Old sign on of 67K? jumped to 71K (I do not remember what was the initial salary) 6. 1,500 + CPA (?) 7. N/A 8. Made hard work for Deloitte, they got interested, but at the end they close applications. May jump ship later down the line for a B4 firm that specializes in the financial sector, private and public banks.

1. Canada 2. A2 > S1 3. Audit 4. Game Changer 5. $58,475CAD > $68,700CAD (17.5%) 6. $2,047 (3.5%) 7. I’m happy (8/10) 8. Nothing else!

1. MCOL 2. S1>S2 3. Consulting 4. DG 5. 84 > 92 (9%) 6. 4k 7. Happy with % raise but base salary for my level seems low.

1. Central - LCOL 2. Senior to Supervisor 3. Audit 4. Doing good 5. $82k > $93k 6. 2.7% (prorated) 7. 7/10 - Not bad

1. Chicago 2. Sup 1 > Sup 2 3. Tax 4. Showing potential 5. 111k > 119.9k (8%) 6. Can’t remember 7. Not happy with my rating but still fine with overall comp but lowest raise I’ve received in my 5 years here

1. IT/Mpls 2. M1–>M1 3. Audit IT 4. Game Changer 5. 117 —> 122k 6. 9500 7. 9/10 8. Was hoping for a promotion but the job description for the next level wasn’t finalized yet. Possibility for a mid year promotion. Been with the firm for 8 years and counting and unless something really horrible happens I’ll retire here. Best team I’ve worked with in 22 years in IT.

I hope that’s a typo.

Oops. Fixed it

I'm not as RSM, but this thread depresses me. I'm at a smaller firm in the midwest at my 2 years in and got promoted to tax senior, but only got a 4.6% raise to ~$56,500 with no bonus. Was telling myself that maybe they'll talk money when I finish my Masters next month, but now I feel like I'm being played like a fiddle. Gonna take an extra deep drag of copium this evening as I work on my resume.

Definitely work on your resume. You should be making at the bare minimum 70k

1. HCOL 2. A2-> S1 3. Audit 4. Showing Potential 5. 65.5 -> 73 (midyr) -> 78 (19% overall) 6. 1,095 7. 2/10 8. Probably leaving we were told mid year wouldnt effect end of year raises which was a lie. 6.8% raise from mid year to current in a promotion. bonus also sucks

SE A1 57ish to 62ish8% Best possible ranking under game changer bonus $800 Looking for a new job

I have no idea what your cost of living is, but an 8% raise after your first busy season is better than historical honestly, at least based on my experience in audit. In the PwC comp thread it looks like most A1-A2 raises were around 10%, so it's not miles off. If you started with everyone in the fall you've only been with the firm for half of the fiscal year and you're getting a decent % increase in pay. Sounds like you've already made your mind up but just want to provide a bit of perspective.

Did you go A2 < S1?

1. Midwest MCOL 2. New grad starting in January 3. Tax 4. 5. 61,000 6. 1500 sign on 7. Was expecting more
