I got a call from the recruiter today at Deloitte saying I got the job as a tax consultant 2. When she asked me about the comp I wanted, I said 80-85K. Do you think that’s fair or I should have asked for more?Deloitte

Ask for 115k

Would ask the recruiter for the range first and then shoot for the higher end of it.

That’s high for a staff position even in HCOL areas.

Would need to know your location and group to gauge whether that ask is reasonable

like

Definitely not unreasonable. They are willing to overpay to get people in the door so keep that in mind . If you join, they make up for your high starting salary with poor raises, so get as much as you can

like

Doubtful you get that. Maybe VHCOL

Based on the responses it looks like you asked for the right amount. Better than asking for too little.

I’m surprised people are saying that’s high. Maybe for tax consultants particularly? I and all the consultants I know are at 95k + hired this year in HCOL but not VHCOL

Depends where you are. For your reference I am in VHCOL starting full time in June and my starting salary is 80K

As a tax consultant entry level.

Sounds high for TC2

I joined as senior at 96 pre pandemic in international tax in MCOL

My raises after that were pretty bad though

I think it’s fair unless your in very HCOL city. It’s definitely high for TC2, but you should target high.
