I’m only a little under that as a S1 in TX so I would think in Chicago with a higher cost of living there should be a little bit of a bump in there… To me 108-110k might be better?

PwC 2 I sent you a chat if you’d be down to answer a couple questions.

I think it’s decent

What level Senior?

Way better than my S1 salary of 76K back in 2018

Mine was $80k in 2019 so would say that’s pretty good

At EY? How do they get away with paying yall the same as audit?

Not bad but not great

Better than what I’m getting and some other firms I’ve talked to in chicago

How many YOE?

Geeze I’m way underpaid then. What firm is offering that?

Is 105k close to what a Senior 1 is making at EY currently?

$5K over what I made as S1 in VHCOL

If its EY forensics than $105K for a S1 is pretty good. I think that’s like $10-20K above standard for them.

If it’s anywhere else (other than maybe a smaller CPA firm with good work life balance), it’s ok but not great. I would think a base of $110-$120K is about right

This is for FTI Consulting btw! I am only at $80k at EY in audit atm (pre 8/5 raise) but i was really hoping for $115k at least based on my friends who have recently left audit. Was my estimate too high? What would the next level likely be making? (Director/Manager)

Just started working in-house within the last couple of months. First real attorney gig after doing compliance. The GC was terminated and I had to fill in the role as GC (even though that’s not what I’m called). My company says they don’t need a GC. Talked to my boss today and they want to hire another to take things off my plate since I am the only attorney. They plan to rewrite my job position to do more risk and compliance. Am I wrong for feeling like I should have been included in the convo?
