Currently making $57.5 as a Tax Associate. (No raises this year).

Had a job interview for a Senior Accountant role at a PE firm and they asked for salary expectations... I said $65-$80. Did I set the bar too low?

Depends on where you live. If in a high cost area, yes.

MCOL-LCOL I’d say

I’m at $60 so I think you’re requesting at the right range. But you should’ve gotten a raise. I wouldn’t accept anything less than $70 tbh.

How many years experience as Tax Associate? Anything else significant on resume? CPA license? Those answers would help to probide better input.

In my opinion, I don't think you set the bar too low. It seems reasonable to me.

So I say this with complete humility and an understanding that this is a fortunate-ish situation to be in. I’m in a position where I am tied to nothing, I have no children, spouse, or house. My job, which I’ve loved until some recent significant leadership changes, is sucking the life out of me and I think it may be time for a change. Because I am able to “pick up and go” I’m open to opportunities and locations. I’ve never worked with a recruiter but was hoping I could get some recommendations!
