It feels like once someone gains salary momentum in accounting, it becomes easier to keep accelerating. Higher comp leads to better opportunities, stronger negotiating power, and more confidence making moves. At what point in your career did you feel that momentum?

I want less salary and more freedom. Public accounting is handcuffs.

Damn

Yes, public accounting becomes handcuffs for many people. At lower levels, you can exit to industry for more money. Eventually, you earn a large sum more in PA than you could ever expect in industry and get stuck.

Good point

Public accounting was way better and safe prior to AI boom and outsourcing and yes busy schedule was always there but there was no job insecurity which has recently completely changed…yea u can move up in PA but there are similar risks like IT companies nowadays..if metrics not hit, u are cooked..all mean to say accounting profession was never cutthroat brutal that we see nowadays

Thanks for sharing

Hi- I’m an hourly AA, been on the role for 6 months now and it’s my first AA job. I did not get a raise when I took the job because it was technically a demotion ( I was a team leader at a contact center). I assist two VPs and now they want to add a third because they’re looking for the “ 3:1 ratio “. Should I ask for a raise? Is this normal? I know another AA that handles 3+ people but idk if she’s hourly or salary. Any thoughts?
