Anyone got tips for not lowballing with a "competitive" salary for a private equity accountant role? A recruiter approached me and it'd perfectly fit my interests, but there's this sticking point.

It's cool to say you're in talks with another PE place for $80-120k, right? I'm being truthful here, aside from my lack of interest in it because the official job description understated the amount of travel it'll involve.

Yeah, it's looking like the average rate on glassdoor is 100k if we're talking about junior fund accountants around DC. Linkedin postings with salaries listed are around 100-120. I'll also need to watch for the dynamic of them trying to pay Baltimore, not DC rates since "you're commuting from somewhere cheaper" (which was part of the reason my talks with a Tyson's Corner office of a certain top 4 CPA firm broke down).

But then again, nothing precludes me from saying that the Baltimore office of the other PE firm is eyeing 100k due to my IT experience. We can omit the part where I'm not taking the position because of red flags like "you'll be a friendly face to help the staff emotionally accept the buyout".

Are cover letters important if they don’t ask for one? There are so many job postings and applicants I can’t tell if they would be beneficial to show effort or just a waste of time to write with how little time I assume people are looking at applications with the mass hiring going on. If I should be writing one, any advice how to format?

She is great, but I’m finding I don’t have enthusiasm for this role at all. I don’t think I have a choice to go back to being an executive assistant
