that sounds on the extreme high end. That maybe higher than some M1s in certain BUs.

Super high. I am a manager 1, tax, and my salary is 110

Salary also varies by location, practice area and your credentials

It would have been considered high a year ago, but in the current market I’d say it’s about average. I’m in a LCOL and recruiters are offering close to that to get seniors to jump ship.

I can assure you it is real.

Lol, yes

Yeah, only seniors in LA I knew making over 110 were LLM and a couple transfer pricing guys with advanced degrees.

BDO caps you at just under 100K so I’d take that

I am a registered sales assistant which means I have my series 7. I also have the 63 and my Life & Health license. I was a financial advisor but the role is commission only so I decided to take a role as an assistant for some time to learn etc. I really like my role, but I only make 32k a year and after taxes I only take home about 25k. I have a gut feeling that I’m not being paid market value but it’s tough to find comparable salaries. Do you think $15.38/hr is a fair wage in this case?
