I left HCOL in 2019 as a SM4 making $172k
Rising Star
I’m a VP of Accounting at a publicly traded company with 10k employees. I got a small raise in base salary plus 24% bonus. I never work weekends and work 45 hours most weeks except quarter close I work 55 for 2 weeks. I’m happy I left PA but yes I wish I would have left sooner. I followed the dangled carrot for too long.
Region? I've seen around 110-120 in Texas
160 HCOL as SM2
Gotcha. What firm?
Lol and this is why I left EY after my S1 busy season. I’d be heading into M2 this fall if still there.
Base salary currently $140k: all-in comp around ~$220k to $250k.
That’s awesome! What do you do now?
I work in the distress space - so to be far, my job has only become more stressful (pun intended). Restructuring IB and distressed debt principal investing
I’m in Los Angeles and my current salary is $110k
Yeah and will be getting a raise in July. And no I’m at a mid-tier (top 15)
I dont think SM is consistent across firms, FYI. Like I’m pretty sure EY SM = PwC Director. Might explain some of the disparities in this thread.
PwC is M - SM - D. Director didn’t exist in the US form until a couple of years ago so some SMs had much higher salaries. But they were all grandfathered into the D title on the day of the change.
