CLA Tax Senior Salary:

Hello fam,
I am interviewing with mid-size firms like RSM, CLA & Moss Adams for Texas or Arizona locations. I am wondering how much salary should i expect?
( I have CPA but no tax experience)

If you have no experience, you'll struggle coming in as a tax senior. Anyway, CLA is definitely the lowest pay of the bunch.

Probably aim for 75k.

You will not get a job as a tax senior without experience. Aim lower, start at the bottom

Wow if those firms are interviewing for a tax senior position they sound desperate. No offense but to succeed you need a strong background or at least some background in tax and project management. Sure you can probably handle the second part but assuming you are hired if your associates have more tax knowledge than you that’s a huge flag in my book cause you are supposed to review their work. I’d suggest campus recruiting or coming in as a “experienced” associate. Cause otherwise you will literally not be in a good position to succeed. Best of luck though!

I had cleared all the rounds in S&P and had salary discussion 1.5 month back. The HR is always saying the management is on leave and will soon get the approval and release offer.

Only 10 days of my LWD are left.

When you say your salary jumped __x, how is that exactly calculated?

Mine was $16k (minimum wage before joining corporate) > $40k (contractor total before getting laid off) > $150k (current FT)?

Is that a 260% jump or 2.6x from $16k to $40k?
And a 375% jump or 3.75x from $40k to $150k?

Or do I calculate it by hourly rate?

Had my annual review Friday (first year with the company). Boss awarded a 3% raise though she said my review was “90% positive.” Worth adding I got a 3% sign on bonus last year, so I’m basically at 0% raise. Nobody under me has gotten less than a 7% raise in the past year. Considering promotions + counter offers as well, it goes as high as 25%. I don’t feel a 3% raise matches a “90% positive” review and plan to bring up the cognitive dissonance I’m feeling. Any other tips or advice to add?

Similar role, both are good teams, etc. Do I politely decline and see my GC process through or accept and get more money? Feel like current employer will drag their feet as long as they can for retention purposes.

I realized I've been a dummy for getting a job at a creative agency and not working on my portfolio.
