I’m making $110K in the Bay Area. I’ve been working at a non-big4 firm for 6 years without a CPA. I was told I was receiving this salary so I wouldn’t even consider another offer. Any insight into whether this is actually a good salary is greatly appreciated.

$110k/yr in the Bay Area, you better up that quick lol

Also you’re underpaid by far, many 3 YOE big 4 ppl make more than you

Not very good for the Bay Area. I make 105k + 10% bonus in Atlanta in industry. No cpa and 4 YOE. I would think 120+ for you in the Bay Area.

Even $120 is low for 6 YOE, 6 YOE should be closer to $150k+

Having a CPA is very valuable, and with 6 years of exp, you can do much better. Doesn't have to be big4, but regional/national firms are paying much higher for your exp and license.

oops, sorry didn't see that you don't have a CPA. Better work on that first if you're in PA lol.
