I would say so. Even in a low COL market, after slaving in PA for 4 yrs, this is really low. A lot of people (outside of PA) start off at 60k+ right out of college in my small town in the southwest region. Wish I didn't drink the kool-aid and took my industry offer of 60k vs staff 1 52k. Now I want to stay until manager since I'm neither here nor there...it's the worst case ever
Slightly low. Pay sucks at EY, though. Get used to it.
Sounds about right for low COL market
You're probably slightly underpaid, as I'm going into my first year as a senior in a low COL area with a salary of $67K
Probably. I'm in a large city, but also southeast. Left public after 1.5 yrs for industry. Been working a total of 5 years and I'm at 80k m plus bonus.
ATL pay is shit. They haven't had a COLA in like 10 years despite rent being higher than any of the other cities that pay the same amount
Thanks everyone for the responses. Now I have to figure out how to bring up my concerns during my comp discussion.
I'm in the southeast, and while we do have low salaries, yes that sounds underpaid for 5 years experience. It depends on the size of your firm.
I work in big 4
I'm at 72k as a senior 3 in southeast (promoted to mgr, haven't had comp call yet). Was 3 rated as staff 1 thru senior 1, then 4 rated senior 2-3 years. Think my base as a senior 2 was 65k. I think it depends on if you have been top rated every year. If yes, maybe a bit low. If you were 3 rated in previous years, probably on track.
I will hit 2 years of experience in December and make $65k in low COL. I wouldn't stay if 3 years from now I was at $70k
No clue. I made 82 in NYC audit as second year senior
