70k in audit for 1 YOE is actually good. I know of seniors who are barely in the 70’s at Big 4 (I was one of them). If I were you, I would wait another year to make Senior and jump to a competitor’s advisory/consulting practice. That’s what I did and my comp went from $72k as an audit Senior to $101k as a Senior in advisory. If you are solely comp driven, you’re best bet is to get an MBA from a top 20 school. With a top MBA you can get into consulting or IB where your first year total comp will be around $200k+
If you aren’t sure about an MBA, another option is to look into getting a masters in cyber security or some tech related field. My friends who went into cyber are now making around $140k with 4+ YOE.
What is the comp that you desire?

Same here I’m trying to get out but keep falling into the abyss.
With luck you could transition into other adjacent fields... perhaps into Consulting, Transaction Advisory, or a boutique / mm investment bank.
Thank you everyone
