I recently received a surprise call about a promotion to an Experienced Tax Associate with a pay raise of $78,000. After expressing my gratitude for the raise, I asked for consideration of a salary of $84,00 based on my master's degree background and previous accounting experience. A day later, I received a response denial of my request. I was already receiving a low salary. What are experienced tax accountant positions paid for a one-year experience? Was I asking too much?

84k sounds right in VHCOL (think SF or LA)

You asked for way too much for an associate. Based on the pay raise, sounds like you may be in a MCOL area. 84k is possible senior level salary.

I am glad I asked the question. starting off in this role, I felt the pay was low so I am grateful for the raise. Just want to be sure I don't feel like I am in that scenario again. Thank you so much for the feedback.

78 seems pretty good for an associate with one year of experience.

What did you do before getting your masters that this seems so low for one year of experience? And again no one cares about the masters. Get your CPA and then talk.

Hello fishes. I'm an MBA graduate currently working as a digital marketing professional in a mid size consulting firm with 3 years of experience.
I am terribly underpaid in my current org at 5.5 LPA after a recent promotion and annual appraisal. Another mid size consulting firm offered me 7.5 LPA but I am asking them around 9 LPA.
Am I asking too much or shall I take the offer of 7.5 LPA?

Thank you

I would like to hit fire between 40-50. Currently 27, 185k total comp (125 for me and 60 for partner). Like my job don’t hate it don’t love it. Does an MBA make sense? I’m guessing it could take me to 170ish with that schools I’m looking at but wondering if the 40-50 retirement range makes an mba not make sense since I’d only have 10-20 years to save vs 12-22.

Would have to finance the whole thing myself. Current net worth is 140k. Thoughts?

And we just lay there as I cried, and then got up. Had a drink.
