I was offered 63.5k for an experienced associate in NY position. I felt it was a bit low and would like to negotiate higher, any tips?

After 20 years at EY I can say that there is less room for individual negotiation generally speaking unless you are asked to do something. The monetary value of the career is that the salary will double every five years in real values. Maybe 6. Untill you pass 500 K.

I moved to NYC in EY as a staff 2 in audit and got 66k. I later found out that >$68,720 is considered “low income” by the city of New York (seriously, look it up).

And then I found another job doing the same thing for a 45% bump.

Tell them you want more money

I came in as a staff 2 in my firm. Washington DC area for $67K. I’d say negotiate. Worst they can say is no.

As a senior 1 in NYC, I can verify that’s the salary for a staff 2... it’s sucks

I started at 59, 5 years ago. That seems very low

???? That doesn’t give reason to think it’s low when offers go up 1k per year

Not true, I came in as experienced associate and I negotiated my salary to stand at $72K. You can negotiate

It’s all fine and dandy to negotiate for more, but at the end of the day, the firm is going lower your raises going forward to push you into the salary band for that respective region

Audit NYC $60k first year
