I’m an accounting advisory M2 in Los Angeles and hoping to find a position around $150k in industry. However a recruiter said that’s too high and I should be looking more around $130-140k, I can’t tell though if she’s being honest or just hoping I’ll take a smaller salary so that she can get an easier commission. Thoughts?

FAAS M2? You should aim for 170k at least total so probably 150k base assuming no other RSU. But 170 should be bare minimum for total compensation

You need a new recruiter.

Switch to PwC. At M2 you’d be above 150k base

Whatre you making now if you don’t mind?

I’m ready for a break from PA otherwise I might have taken you up on it. But yeah kind of figure I was way underpaid. I recently transferred from tx to ca and was told I wasn’t getting a COL adj since supposedly my tx salary was the same that ca managers make 😒. I definitely never fully bought that story.
