Hey all I completed 3 busy seasons before taking a 95K offer as a fund accountant at a hedge fund in NYC. Realistically come year end can I ask for a salary increase to 105K? I feel like that would be reasonable given it’s in line with the market rate for someone with 4 busy seasons coming out of public right?

Good luck with that, raises in industry and private usually single digit

Big raises and promotions are more common in PA than out. You’d probably have better luck getting that salary if you go back to PA.

No Bc you haven't completed 4 busy seasons? Can prob hop back to public as a senior for that rate including sign on bonus though. Just my two cents based on the current market

That is in-line with market rate for 4 busy seasons, but you only completed 3…..

Yes, but not 4 busy seasons. You have 3 busy seasons at a PA company and 1 fund accountant season.

It’s why there’s some incentive to stay a little longer at PA. Your bump coming out is typically higher.

Hi 👋🏾 I started a job in Jan of 2022 as a proj. coord. (2yrs exp) for a small-mid sized company ~200 ppl. I have received much recognition from the directors and higher executives. 3 months after being hired I was asked to become SCRUM master (for which I am certified) Unfortunately there has been a series of management changes and at my 6 month evaluation my salary was adjusted from 65 to 67k. Am I wrong to expect more? I’m unsure what a typical promotional jump is but 67k for SCRUM master?

Thanks!

What do you do if the partner who hired you is nice in social settings but awful to work for? And you can’t seem to escape from working for that partner. This partner doesn’t respond to your emails for critical issues that you need input on, doesn’t return your phone calls and voicemails and throws you under the bus in front of the client to blame you for her mistakes. The seniors are too busy. Just joined this firm so lateraling isn’t a viable option.
