Got an offer for strategy analyst in NYC. Base comp 70k
- master’s student
- 0 YOE (1 summer internship with same firm)

I’m grateful to have a job in this economy, esp in a firm and industry I like but can’t help but feel this is low for NYC.

Any advice?

Extremely low but take it if you don’t have anything else and keep interviewing. This level is honestly disrespectful and they shouldn’t expect you to stay once you get a better offer.

Yes it is low. Hang in there in this economy. Here's my story if it makes you feel better. You just need one jump to go 1.5x from what you earn now. It's easier if you have YOE by your side

I was also a Masters graduate with just intern experience before joining yr 1

YOE - TC
1 - 60k + 3k
2 - 70k + 10k
3 - 80k + 10k
4 - 120k (switched company) + 15k
5 - 130k + 15k
6 - 165k (promote) + 25k
7- 180k
