First year senior in mid market MCOL making 100k in M&A tax. Am I underpaid? What can I expect to be making at manager? I don’t think my firm cares about my JD from a comp perspective at all.

Seems low. KPMG was offering $95k for new hire JDs (no LLM) this summer in southern MCOL (Dallas, Miami, Atlanta, etc.)

No idea what the market rate is. Solely based on my opinion, overpaid.

I’m sure.

Seems really low. Like really low unless MCOL is actually rural south.

I made $120k as a S1 in 2016. Lower high cost area (not NYC or bay). We bring A1s from llm in at 120-125k.

Without a doubt, low. Very low. I made like 125 over 5 years ago.

Hi all 🙂👋🏻 Apologies for such a late post. I have an offer of 18 CTC(1L joining bonus) from Larsen & Toubro Infotech & 12.5 fixed from IBM .
My joining in both are in around May last week. Tomorrow my IBM pre onboarding HR will connect with me. Should I ask for a counter offer tomorrow itself?
Or should I ask 2 weeks before joining?
Many told me that companies revise CTC when the joining date is near, else they show less interest. So should I go for it now itself?
Appreciate ur inputs🙂

I need your views and suggestions. I have two doubts:
