I'm a 3rd year audit senior manager in LA and base comp is 200k. Have no idea what peers at other firms are getting. I think I'm somewhere in the middle. Can other SM share where they are at?

Maybe Moss Adams doesn't have the same hard caps as the bigger firms. Im guessing that since smaller firm and smaller offices, a strong SM is more valuable to the firm than at Big 4, where pretty much every employee is replaceable.

1st year senior manager in tax making $162k in the Bay Area

3 factors affect pay in public accounting --- region, service line, firm size. Unfortunately, audit gets paid less than tax, consulting, etc. Smaller firms pay more to retain talent and also have less overhead related expenses. BIG4 SM pay starts around $120k-$130k (somewhat similar to what the BDOs, Grants, RSMs).

200k it's more like a director close to partnership.. no way you are making that much outside Big 4 and ALSO base comp 😂

Hi All,

I have given an interview for BI Customer Analyst for 3 years experience @NielsenIQ. How much salary should I expect?

Looking for referrals for a Technical Sales Executive position that is Remote (USA), possibly in the industrial sector. Last year I made $109k at AT&T so I'm hoping to at least stay in the same ball park but want a change. I have lots of experience selling IT/telecom, but I also have a Mechanical Engineering background so I'm a good fit for a wide range of technical sales. I have been thinking a role in the industrial sector with a longer sales cycle may be a good fit, can travel up to 25%

Curious if anyone else is or has been in the same boat. I started as an assistant at an entertainment law firm prior to passing the bar. Upon passing, the partner told me they would hire an assistant for me since I now became an associate. That was 1.5 years ago and I am still in the limbo of juggling my own workload + doing assistant roles for my supervisors. I have also had no increase in pay, which is a huge deal for me. Is this normal in the entertainment world? Any suggestions?

Just got a freelance gig for $1250 for 2 shoot days, but they’re asking for hourly rate for prep days. Not sure what rate to give them & if I should base it on a 10 or 12 hr hourly rate. It’s LA based & content/digital production. I’m not a fan of hourly rates, but I don’t want to lose the gig or end up agreeing to less days than I actually end up working..
