Im a little older than you, but back when i started at a Big 4 in audit in NYC PwC was paying entry level associates 60K and that was higher than the other firms. This was in 2013.

funny

That sounds reasonable for the market. My estimate for a good A2 salary in Chicago would be in the low 70s. The job market is competitive. I’ve anecdotally heard of smaller firms in Chicagoland dropping clients simply because they lack the staffing to get audits done.

Good! I started at 62k at a top 20 in 2019 working in tax in Chicago

I think that’s totally appropriate for a staff 1
