CPA with 2.5yrs experience. Exxon offering 80k for financial analyst position. I think its BS....I was expecting 90-100k. What do you guys think? Hours are 8-5, so less than big 4.

Guys 2.5 years is nowhere near the $100k salary range no matter the market. Go look at job postings in large markets. You really think people are making nearly double their starting salary after only 2 busy seasons?

A family member of mine worked his way up to upper-middle accounting management at Exxon and made great money. Lived in TX, Washington DC, Venezuela, and then came back to HQ. he liked it. I think you should consider more than just salary when looking at this opportunity. There's a lot of potential income growth there.

Really? Accountants are expecting $100k after 2.5 years of audit in a low COL city? 🤔

@OP what makes you think you deserve anywhere near $100K with less than 3 years experience? You are way off from where the market is for 3 years experience.

It's definitely not $100K. $70k - $80k is about what you're looking at depending on market size and job responsibilities

like

80k sounds reasonable. After first few years, there are so many factors beyond years of experience that come into play.

like

100k would be insane. 80k even sounds generous.

Shouldn't you also get a bonus and stock award as part of your compensation package? My husband used to work at Chevron (in legal department) and bonus and stock awards were a decent piece of his compensation. I would assume Exxon would be similar.

Location matters. Also 2.5 years is not much time.

I'd bet it's BS, I have friends that worked there right out of undergrad (albeit engineers) with 100k. I assume you'd be in Houston then which is a pretty cool city actually

like

Agreed. There's pockets of opportunities that pay stupid money above the position. Have a client that had a bookkeeper that worked 3 days a week and they paid 100k. With a large company like this, salaries are usually pretty standard.

like

OP should ask for extra 5 days PTO or $5,000. You'll probably get the $5k.

like

You're really asking for a few extra days PTO. There's probably a standard PTO policy that's harder to get changed than to just give you a small bump. Idk the Vacation policy so 5 and 5 might be too high if it's already generous. Usually public has a higher PTO policy than private.
