I worked 3 years in R&D for EY. I decided tomove back to my home town and i been working for a small accounting firm for the last 3 years in the tax(salary 95k).
In the last couple weeks, I interviewed with a top10 firm for a Senior tax in R&D (remote) and they offered me 115k.
What is the average salary for a Sr in R&D ? If i decide to accpet the offer. I was wondering how difficult it is to trancision out of R&D?

One possible explanation is that your credentials don’t meet their hiring standards so they want you to prove yourself before being made an associate, which in many firms is a much more prestigious position than staff attorney. I haven’t heard of this but it’s the only reason I can think of why they would propose this arrangement. If that’s the situation I would have a frank discussion with them about your real prospects for advancement and the work they want you to do as an SA. Our SAs do only doc review. If that’s your future I can’t imagine them moving you up. But if they convince you that the opportunity is genuine it might be worth the risk.
The downside is that many firms look at SAs as a completely different job than associate. That being so, moving to SA may limit your opportunity to return to associate at another firm.
At my firm it’s a small group and a lot so get promoted to associate within a year or two. You do the same work as a reg associate including drafting. They said it’s an HR thing, but either way I saw it as staff atty at top 20 firm > associate at a firm no one would ever know, advancement wise. Also apparently it’s a lot easier to lateral to an associate position at other big firms, but I don’t know for sure.
I’m still a staff attorney (I just started recently), but from the others in my group it looks like anywhere from 6 months-1.5 years.
I recently made this exact same move except I moved from a smaller firm to a V20. Feel free to DM me if you want.
When I made the move I tripled my salary and it was a no brainer, so I can’t really say whether it’s worth 35k difference. For me, it really boiled down to, no matter what Staff Attorney at very known V20 Firm > Associate at a firm no one knows and only has ~5-10 attorneys and I hated it anyway. So far my experience has been great and resources and training are unmatched. I’m exactly like an associate, the only thing that’s happened so far is I’m not sure if I’m getting the special covid bonus.
