I am currently negotiating an offer with a Big 4 firm (one of the Blue firms). I’m a third year audit manager from another country. They offered a total compensation package of approx 13M. Oddly enough, the base salary is 10M and the rest is a quoted bonus of approx 3M. Is this type of compensation structure normal here in Japan to have so much of the total package to be tied to a bonus? I am also surprised they would quote a bonus in the contract, how much of this bonus is actually paid out in a normal performance year?
I saw some ranges for Big 4 consulting compensation pay ranging from 12M-16M….is the difference that big between audit and consulting here in Tokyo?
