4 YOE in MCOL gets you pretty close to 100k in Big 4

5 YOE and I'm at 110k (manager tho)

I'm waiting 1 more year. Get to ~120 base then I can aim for 150k+

Where is your small company? My prior small company only paid my 60k for 4 YOE. I had to find a new job since the pay was too low.

I think a lot has changed 4 years ago and base pay now. My previous firm only trying me to get back but I am not sure the growth for the next few years compared to where I am at now (at big 4).
