Hello! I am graduating in the fall of next year with my B.S. in Accounting. I was offered a staff accountant position to start immediately at a small firm in Central Florida. The salary is $52k per year with decent additional benefits. Is this a good entry level salary?

Thanks!

🐠 I need your help. Just got an offer over the phone and I will need to call them tomorrow to negotiate the details. They emailed me saying the salary is “higher than 60k” but over the phone they mentioned they might be able to go up to 70k. Should I start asking for 70k (I will be making 65k at my current firm next year)? Any particular benefits I should consider negotiating/ asking about? TIA!

Are there alternative titles that you find more appropriate for 2022?
