Hi All -
Long time lurker, first time poster. Question for all you fellow Big 4 peeps out there...
I'm a CPA and CIA with my Masters in Accounting. I've joined the Big 4 straight out of the Masters program and am about 22 months deep. My first annual performance eval, I received a 2 (high performer), but got a crappy raise. This year, I've been promoted with a rating of a 1 (top performer). Based on all of your experiences, do you think raises will be solid this year? The work isn't too bad and the hours aren't as bad as I thought, but I don't feel like I'm getting paid my worth. Granted, there are some intangibles associated with Big 4 accounting that I place a real monetary value on, however, that only stretches so far. I've been getting some pretty lucrative offers, but if I can help it, I'd prefer not to jump ship until at least manager.
Thanks in advance for any insight you may be able to provide.
