Help!! What’s an appropriate salary range for a HCOL (NYC, or California like SF or LA) tax analyst role and senior tax analyst role. Coming from LCOL (TX) where the range I’ve been offered so far is 80-90. I have 3 years public accounting experience. Been seeing such a variable range (some not even diff from LCOL range).

Not in tax (in audit) but a few of my friends who left after 2 years of PA usually made 85-110k and after 3 years, around 120-140k. This is SF.

Maybe wait for a respectable offer if you can stick it out in public a bit longer. I feel like once you start lowballed in industry that can kind of set the tone for the next few years unless you plan to jump ship again. I'm earning 100k as S1 in HCOL so I would sure as hell never consider a paycut. Maybe ask them for their salary progression?

Ah clarification, 80-90 are the offers I’ve gotten from TX! Definitely have been lowballed on other offers but have a call coming up for SF based job and feel like they’ll ask me for a range.

You can definitely live in SF off $90k, you won’t be that comfortable but you could do it. That being said, you’re probably able to get base of $110k-$120k plus bonus and stock so don’t sell yourself short!
