Push for S1 and 110k

I’d say it’s fair. Nice to get that 8 ball upfront too

like

Why not S1?

Experienced staff? They did away with that and you should push for S1

Should be senior for sure. Definitely wiggle room to negotiate that salary too

Yes. Plus coming in as a Experienced Staff gives you some breathing room. It’s better start and do great as a staff, then struggle as a senior.

I would see about getting to $80k base, with a $6,5k sign-in. Should be easy to get.

I disagree with this. Senior is essentially based on time. You have the time OP, go for the promotion.

Go S1. Ask for 100 and a signon. In tax that’s not unheard of these days. If it’s for core tax (not a specialty in consulting), then you wouldn’t see substantial raises because they’ll level you out. If it’s for a specialty position, that’s the going “internal” rate I’d say (as in the rate that the firm would string you along at, not the fluffed up figure to attract talent). That said, jobs are in such high demand right now and you have leverage. They’ll take you as an S1 and you’ll be happy you listened to us. I really do think 100 is reasonable for core these days even in LA (and again, a slightly lowball external offer personally for specialty tax).

There should be no A3s anymore, go for S1

like

Agreed we just did away with A3 so push for S1. I have 2.5 YOE and just got promoted to S1 halfway through the year due to the change. I’m at 80. If you are in LA you should be more than me. I’m in Texas

Push for S1 and I would look elsewhere if they’re unwilling to give S1

Dude I was making 93 as a m1 in a top 10 city (mcol though) not even 2 years ago. Take it.

78k in LA?? That’s a hard no.
