For those in California, is $130,000 too little or too high to ask for as a base salary in industry for a tax senior 2?

Depends on the city. San Francisco COL is very different than Redding’s COL

In that case, I agree with PwC 1 – $130k is too high

Is it more like $110k -$120k? Thank you.

Lol no. Maybe for mid senior software engineer in that range.

To high for PA, ok for tech companies

Yep, it’s with a tech company.

Is this the base salary or total comp? Even in the Bay Area the 130k base for a senior is a bit too high

That’s really good. Did you successfully negotiate it?

Good Afternoon. I have been with my current company for ten months. They quickly realized that I was overqualified for the position I was given. I have been increasingly given more responsibility and even more side projects. I have also been proactive and searching for internal positions that fit my skill set. Can I get suggestions on when would be the opportune time to ask for a raise? Should I wait until my one year anniversary? How should I go about this?
