Have you tried looking at other firms? Hopping is a good way to get a pay boost if you like what you do. I jumped firms as an A2 and make 80k base.

Great point, I have to start looking

Going back to school will not increase your salary. If you want to stay in accounting you already have the credentials you need. Even if you jump ship they aren’t going to give you 120-k on a promotion year. If they do they will eventually level you out.

if you're a top performer, give those reviews to a recruiter and jump ship for a nice raise.

Thank you so much... I will try LinkedIn for recruitee

Jumping to a different firm will give you a temporary bump but it's going to level back out to the market. If you give yourself a few years, you'll get there a while lot faster than going back to school.

I have an MBA, don’t think I want a PHD but also cannot think of getting in debt to potentially make more. I just became debt free except my mortgage

I am up for promotion. I feel like I should be doing way more. I am in assurance. I am even willing to go back school

Ride it out another year or two, get your mba at a top 25 program (ie Emory)

I already have an MBA. It doesn’t really serve me in my line of duties.

have you tried asking for a higher salary?

I did. They said they will look into it and until now nothing

Had a recent job offer from Amazon TC 146 K sign on bonus 42K RSU 508 for a L6 Sr. Program manager based out of Nashville. This is barely more than the amount I make now(actually base is lower than what I make). I’m planning to ask for about 18% more, is that a high number? Does anyone have an idea how much Amazon negotiates? This is for a non tech role so I’m not sure of the exact salary range.
Any help would be appreciated
