27 - $75k; 32 - $120 ; 37 - $170; 40 - $200

Audit? 200k as SM?

$84k at 27. $153k now at 31

Currently 27, turning 28 this year. Second year M&A Manager. $175k base, ~$10-$15k bonus.

OP no problem!

Started in SALT at a regional firm in MD as an intern in 2014, stayed there for 3.5 years and got up to $70K as a senior before switching to Fed income tax at a smaller local firm. Took a small pay cut and title demotion to start, but quickly promoted from Staff to Supervisor in 1.5 years ($95K base), then to Manager a year later ($105K).

Left that firm in a lateral move in 2021 and got to $128K base with the firm I’m at now. Got up to SM in 2023, and just made Partner starting this year. Ended last year with $172K base, with Partner promotion I got to $300K base.

$126K total comp

At 27 I was making 65k a year.
