That’s good for lcol
For entry level position at a LCOL, for audit or tax, it sounds about right.
To give you perspective, I started at PwC 19 years ago in a low cost of living city in audit out of college with a MBA at around $40-45k.
EY3 - I think the sad truth is even though the offer is awful compared to yours accounting for inflation, it is currently where market is at for such position.

If you think PwC will give you a better development experience in the long term then it's a good deal. If you think you will get an equivalent development experience at a different firm AND get paid more then choose it.
No need to get salty at PwC, vote with your labor.
Not salty at all, just wondering if this is the normal. I spent some time at a regional firm in the area and was making $57k as an A1. I’m considering going to PwC, sticking around for a few years, but I don’t know how it would be until my salary gets caught up to where I would be if I started $13-15k higher somewhere else.

Big 4 on your resume means a lot more than a few k this early in your career
The top 10 firms have to offer more to entice college grads to take their offers
Agreed. Especially considering I would like to transfer to TAS/Deals in the future.

Do it. That is competitive with our FT offers right now. Big 4 stamp means a lot
I was an A1 in 2016 (non-specialty) and my starting salary was $52k. Seems low to me. This was a LCOL/MCOL.
I was an A1 in 2018 and that was my starting too for a lcol/mcol office.
I was LCOL at EY last year as an A1 and my salary was $52k for consulting. My raise to A2 (including move to MCOL office) was over 30%
They pay less for remote (COE) position.
My first job with PwC LCOL was $39K. My raises were like $5K each year though and good bonuses.
Rising Star
Yeah, about right for LCOL. MCOL is starting at 57k.

For what it’s worth, I started at 55k in Dallas in 2018
I started at 51 lcol a1
