There’s a thread in this subreddit about someone getting a B4 offer mid-career which would reduce their pay and title. Consensus seems to be it’s not worth it, but some think that for those just starting accounting that it might be. I feel comfortable having signed with the regional firm, but I want to throw my offers on the table and see what r/Accounting thinks.

I graduate University this semester, and I’m in a MCOL market.

PwC Tax: $58k, 15 days vacation (excl. sick days and holidays), $5,000 CPA Bonus, 4% 401(k) match 1% Wealth Builder (total of 5% match vested over 5 years), some bonus structure

RSM IT Audit: $63k w/ $3k signing bonus, 6% 401(k) match w/ 5yr vesting, 18 days PTO 11 holidays (incl. sick days), some sort of sub $5k CPA bonus, 3% target bonus, only offers HDHP plans [not a good option for me b/c of high health costs]; also, moves to unlimited PTO down the line

Regional Tax: $64k w/ $2.5k signing bonus, 27 days PTO 8 holidays (inc. sick days), 5% 401(k) match w/ 5 year vesting, $5,500 CPA Bonus, 3.75% billable hours (1700) bonus, profit sharing eligible

I enjoyed interning at PwC Tax, didn’t like the job duties of RSM IT Audit, and have yet to work with the regional firm.

Edit: Fixed billable hours from 2300 to 1700
