I'm a year into my first accounting role, making $56K in a mid-size city. I recently noticed job ads for entry-level accountants in the area are listing $64-70K. Same requirements I had when I started. Is this a red flag that I accepted too low? Or do you think companies just post high to attract candidates?

A few k after tax is not that significant. Stay if you are happy about everything else. But you can also ask for better raise at next raise period

You may have taken too low but also that may be salary + bonus (total comp) you’re seeing on those listings. I’ve also noticed you’ll see listings that say “X firm X position $X pay” but it’s showing like SF Bay Area pay not your local pay 😅

Are the sizes of the companies similar? Even though the requirements may be the same those jobs may have higher expectations or require more hours too. Never hurts to apply and see but you need to compare more then just title if you want to compare apples to apples. Small companies have a CEO but just because they are a CEO doesn’t mean they make the same pay that the CEOs do at Apple, google, etc.

Dang I started at $50k 15 years ago, not with EY, but a smaller firm. Seems low

If paid leave above what is required is offered for parents, do we also have to provide the same benefit to other employees that are eligible for unpaid leave?
