HCOL (Boston) CPA with six years of big 4 experience and 1.5 years industry as accounting manager. Leaving a smaller private equity firm for a considerably larger one and they are asking for my expectations. I am not even sure what true market rate is so not sure where to start. Currently around 130k base with 30% in bonus - about ~180k all in. I am slated to receive a salary adjustment next week at current firm to bring me to market but need to respond to new company ASAP. More in comments!

165k base and 25% bonus

helpful

I am thinking adjustment will be at least up to 140k base. Is starting with 150k base and 30% bonus a reasonable ask? Want to make up for inflation, not currently being paid market value, and the company jump where they have been having a hard time finding someone with my experience and years worked. But also don’t want to shoot to low so looking for advice!

Definitely agreed on the bonus aspect. Do you think 150 base is fair or on the lower (or higher) end?

Agreed ^
