Yea, that’s normal. The IRS has rigid pay tables and they don’t pay much. I worked there briefly out of college and it’s a terrible job

the position but at a lower salary than I started with at Baker Tilly over 3 years ago. Is that normal? Obviously I turned it down but the offer was laughably bad

IRS revenue agents are not paid well. You don’t take that job to mKe a decent salary. It’s about working for the government and the benefits.

Posting should tell you the GS level. From there its easy to see the max you could make at that position.

Government is where you go if you want to sell your soul.

I’m currently in a junior accounting role working with invoicing and billing management. I don’t have a degree in finance or accounting but the more I learn about finance the more interested and excited I become. Anyone have any insight as to how to grow in my career without additional schooling? (Open to certificate suggestions). Additionally what roles can I strive for given my experience?

Has anyone made the switch from firm life (specifically, ID) to a government role and regretted it? It’ll be less pay, but better benefits, more fulfillment, and obviously no billable hours which sounds amazing right now.. I’m just really nervous that I’ll miss the paychecks!

I feel a little crazy saying this, but more money at this point doesn’t resonate. I see a ton of exit planning and boomerang threads here, but I’d take a 50% pay cut (or a 50% raise) for an exciting role. That’s totally privilege talking, but I just can’t imagine chasing extra money in PE or lateraling just for the money. No virtue signaling here at all. I actually worry on some level that I’m somehow a moron for not giving a thought to maximizing earnings.

I currently work in Sales with the intention of moving over to marketing in the near future. I received two offers for BDR/SDR roles from

I like both companies’ software and it extremely hard to decide which position will get me into marketing faster as it is not a traditional BDR path to take.
