How much does a new director with 9 years of public accounting experience at Risk/Internal Audit get paid in public vs industry nowadays? I just got promoted to director and total base and bonus together is about $165k. Am I underpaid? MCoL city.

Thanks everyone for the feedback! How much should I ask for if I go to industry as a director of internal audit for a MCoL city? $180-200 base?

sounds about right, bonuses can get to 100k so 300k TC sounds about right

Same stats as you but eleven years of experience I'm at 200 including bonus. In public accounting

Varies wildly in industry.... how big are your clients?

9 years of experience? I'm an IT audit supervisor also in industry in MCOL with 5ish YOE at 149k. I'd say you're underpaid.

Directors that I know in this space with similar experience have base pay between 175-200k in MCOL

Yeah you’re underpaid. Should be at 185 base min

I have an offer from industry MCOL for 140k base and 15% target bonus with ~5 YOE so guessing yes you are underpaid
