I just realized that my base salary is only 8k more than the new hire I am training. My base is 56k, his 48k. I’ve been with this firm for 2.5 years, had two years experience as an intern coming in, and am licensed. The new hire is 5ish years younger with only his bachelors, no experience. Is this normal?? I know our firm is trying to get more help but they don’t seem to care about keeping good workers. I do end up making 70k w/ overtime but still!

Your firm pays overtime and 70k for someone who’s been working full time for 2.5 years is right around average

like

Not time and a half or anything! But after 80 hours overtime, we start getting paid our regular rate

If you end up making 70k then you are average pay for that experience. I was gonna say if it’s really 56k, you need to escape ASAP

Making 25% more after 2.5 years is reasonable. The real question is why are you or this other person taking $48-$56K as CPAs when you’re probably worth double that

Without a CPA probably not but with one you can definitely make $100K as a new hire at the right place

% wise that shows you had decent raises your first two years. As a percentage over a first year salary, that sounds about right.

I started at 53k

What else should I be doing?

It seems like everyone is in agreement that switching firms gives you a salary boost, but that you could be viewed as someone that doesn’t stick around. Has anyone felt like they got held back from jumping firms every 2-3 years for the salary bump? I know peers that bounced around 2-4 times in a 7 year span and they are making significantly more money than if they stayed at their first job, however it didn’t seem like any of the new companies cared that they bounced around. Other experiences?

Partners or whomever can help me understand about billing and hours. To keep things simple, let’s say you only have one staff to work 1,700 billable hours a year on a $60k salary and you have only one job that and the rate charged to the client is $300/hour and an projected hours budget of 1,700 hours. So ideally you would have revenue of $510k. If the staff takes less time partners make less money and if they take more time partners make more money while the staff keeps the same salary?
