$125K as a SM with 12 years of experience? That would mean approx 4 years as a SM?? If that's true, you are being taken advantage of in your current role.

Yep. Abysmal is the word! Hence looking to exit

Maybe not in Canada, but definitely in the US that would be an insanely low salary

I agree . SM is US would be atleast 160k minimum anyway upto 200k , depending on location

125K CAD or USD?

Holy smokes.

Canada’s salaries are much lower than the US. This shouldn’t come as a surprise.

Even for Canada this seems on the low end…I would think 150ish minimum, in the US 200+

UPDATE (RE: SoCal Assistant Controller Interview)

So after two weeks of waiting (and giving up on the idea of getting the job really), the recruiter got back to me.

They said due to month-end and quarter-end close they were busy and couldn’t get back to me as quickly for a “good update”.

The recruiter said the CFO enjoyed our call, she, the CFO, will call me next week directly to “discuss some final things”.

Not sure if Im hired or not, but are there any questions about the job, comp (cont.)
