Mine was 32k (no signing bonus) back in 2008 as a portfolio accountant.

Also a financial analyst, started out at $52k in January of 2020 with ~3k bonus depending on the year and am now at $53k with likely an even smaller bonus coming this year. I need a new job😅😂

Started at 60k in 2018, no bonus.

Exciting stuff! Mine was woefully low, I think it was like 42k or something back in 2014...excited to say I have moved up significantly since then!

That sounds about right, OP. I think you got a great offer. Congrats!

Need advice! I accepted an offer mid Oct and just found out my new company opened a new role above me at the title I was asking for originally but was told I would move up when they were ready to build out the team. I am over qualified for my role now and already meet the exp of the new role above me. Very salty and feel like they are setting me up to feel stuck before I even start. What do I did?

I was just talking to a younger friend who goes to Cal and It seems like the kids these days hate FAANG or at least Amazon and Facebook are not desired at all.

Curious on whether people are thinking about the ethics of their exit company when deciding to move?
