I am in public. live in Philly. almost 5 YOE and I make 135K. if I were to leave for private … i think I would be making less right now, but once I make manager in public I could probably leave and make more than my public manager salary.

Philadelphia suburbs, 3.5 years, CPA, 80k base + 6k bonus + 4K base profit share with a multiplier depending on company performance. Only did 7 months of public at a firm in Wayne and was fired, the rest of my short career was spent in industry.

Definitely one of the more helpful conversations I’ve had on here.

2.5 YOE. Salary is 102.5k but with bonuses looking at about 180 - Cherry hill

The above should have read, “I’m not at PwC anymore.” Apologies for any confusion.

I work at The Siegfried Group.

I moved to Canada from India 2.5 years ago for my PG in IT BA. I have a bachelors in IT and I worked as a developer for 5 years back home. After my PG, I spent 8 months looking for a job, my current company interviewed me for Technical project manager, but they offered me the role of a PC. I accepted it without negotiating as I did not want to lose the opportunity, I am extremely underpaid and I have been doing the job of 3 people, as my company keeps firing folks. I’ve lost all my confidence.

I work at st Christopher’s hospital for children in Philadelphia PA. And RD starting salary is $61,000. I think this is very poor for having a specialty and going thru 5-8 years of schooling with 3.5 years experience. The hospital also did not give the clinical nutrition department a bonus because we aren’t considered direct patient care?? We are 100% direct patient care on the floors and every unit. Thoughts on this for any fellow RDs?
