I just received an offer for an advisory senior role at 85k in a MCOL market. I have 5 years of experience (4 busy seasons), and 2 years at a large public company. Does this seem appropriate? I am a top performer, and this does not hit my expectations.

Very low I’m assuming EY or mid tier

I’ll counter 120k. And then negotiate down

Sounds low. I'm at 90k as an associate, but that's HCOL. I think seniors are closer to 110+

Y’all hiring? 🌚

Reasonable if home grown but as an experienced hire that’s quite low. I would push for a 105 min

Definitely not home grown. They have not had to invest a lot of money in me lol.

That is low, I received an entry level advisory position at 82k

Defiantly seems low to me

That really low…

Very low IMO. I live in MCOL (TX) and for context PwC offered me 85k for A3 (would have been 105k once promoted to S1 IIRC), EY offered 90k for S1. That was last fall and salaries have gone up again since then. Think PwC cohort in my area is up to 112k for a S1.

Did you apply directly through the firm/LinkedIn or via a recruiter? It can affect salary / sign on bonus.
What service line in advisory? I know we pay around $100k for senior associates entering from audit.
