That seems ok for Dallas. If you ask for more may get a bigger signing bonus.

I came in as a lateral and I remember hearing that within tax there is an especially wide variation for managers- between 100k to as high as 200k. This is because there are some tax practices that have managers that are JD/LLM/CPA (generally also older and in HCOL areas) doing work at very high rates while there are others doing standard type federal returns where managers have a BA and a CPA plus a few years experience.

All this to say, negotiate hard, but my own experience is they calibrate your base on locale and education/experience and won’t budge much on that. You probably can get them to increase a one time signing bonus, but there will be strings attached in terms of how long you’re at the firm.

If I had to guess based on my level (senior 3) I would say low end Tax manager in Dallas would start around 95k, and by Manager 2 would be over 100k. I was able to live comfortably by the time I was mid-60k salary range in an apartment in the city.

Thanks!
