Hi everyone, I need your insights please. TIA! I'm currently a sr accountant for a startup making 105k, also an MBA student. I've been trying to get into FP&A for a long time. I just got an offer 85k for Northrop Grumman financial analyst. I am quite disappointed for the base salary. I tried to negotiate but the recruiter asked me to present it through an email then she'll pass it to the hiring manager. Should I take it or not? Should I consider LT growth? Should I keep looking?

I’d keep looking that’s a lowball for your experience.

You can likely get a senior fp&a role and be making Atleast what you’re at now.

MBA will also help moving into finance. It’s the CPA of Corporate finance.(cpa also highly regarded).

Thank you! I thought about giving it a pass but this opportunity wouldn't come twice considering pivoting into FP&A was quite challenging for me (since college). I majored in Finance with a postgrad cert in Accounting and now concentrate in Finance and Bus analytics in MBA. Did you get into Finance position in the first place?

Thanks again! I will keep looking. I turned down other offers for sr accountant that were way higher than what I currently make. I really want to make a career change since I'm passionate about fp&a but cannot live with that downgrade in earning :(

I think you should try to negotiate first and then decide. You can argue that after through research of the market you have found the average salaries of the people working in similar positions and you feel that since you will be responsible for the same level of work, you deserve the same level of income.
