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

Get out of that small place they’re taking advantage of you for that salary

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

You are working on matters for other clients at all other times during the day. How much are you billing for Client A?

Hi fishes,

I think I am slipping into depression. My life seems to have no meaning and all I do is work. I don't get time for myself or my family, friends and loved ones. But I can't leave my job and take a break as I need the financial support.

I also feel I am earning way less than my peers which makes me feel like a loser. 4.5 years of work-ex and 16LPA.

What should I do? I need good wlb but also need money badly.
