I received an offer for a Senior Auditor position at a bank in Charlotte with a salary of just over 100k. This is a lot lower than what I was earning in my previous risk advisory role. With over six years in consulting and the cost of living in Charlotte, mcol/hcol what would be acceptable?

I wouldn’t put Charlotte at hcol. Senior auditor at just over 100k in mcol market seems about right.

like

Charlotte isn't HCOL and risk advisory isn't consulting. 100k is likely fair, maybe slightly low... but it's a senior role so I'll lean towards fair.

like

Isn’t an auditor and a consultant kinda two different roles? Consultants tend to make a lot more money than an auditor.

like

Charlotte is arguably LCOL. The L stands for labor, not living. It’s on the lower end of the accounting pay scale.

That feels like a good offer for a bank. Banks arent high paying generally, and titles often inflated.

Senior as in level above staff/entry or senior as in level above manager aka like a lead? If the former that's great. If the latter, that's low. How many total YOE?

I lateraled from a small firm to regional big law last year. I was told that my offer was commensurate with class year (5th year). The firm recently increased first year salary, with a 5% increase for all other attorneys. My original salary was equal to the new first year salary. The difference between my new salary and a first year is now $10k. I think it is fairly obvious that the hiring partner was not truthful with me. How would you address this? Is another lateral move my only option?
