I received a $60K offer for a remote accounting position. I'm about a year into my career and have no idea if this is competitive or not. The flexibility is great, but does that typically come with a trade-off in salary? I don't want to leave money on the table, but also don't want to seem unreasonable.

I can’t believe they still have starting salaries at 60k. It was 60k when I started 14 years ago and lunch was less than $10 back then. Now lunch is $15 minimum. Are you in low cost of living location?

60k in 2010 dollars is crazy.
They were starting people in the 40-65k range in 2016. You were lucky.

Does this opportunity align with your current or future goals? Starting out a job remotely can sometimes inhibit your growth. You have to look beyond the money. If it's a great opportunity for growth, take it. But, if you think you'll be stagnant, then the money will definitely be a problem.

You don't need to work there forever. Get 2 or 3 years accounting experience and go elsewhere. Let this position be a stepping stone.

How does this compare to your current position?

Not competitive at all not even a livable wage . Don’t let anyone short change you. Negotiate and don’t settle

it's remote so that's probably why it's on the lower end

What do you all think is a reasonable starting salary? And are you differentiating between public and industry in your reply?

If you don't want it, I'll take it 100% tomorrow.
Send it my way please. Feel free to dm me.

I've been needing a remote job asap.
