I’ve been at my first accounting job for a year now. I’m making $40k doing AP and month-end stuff, but I just realized new grads in my area usually start at $52k. Is it unreasonable to ask for a $12k raise to match the market, or is that too much of a jump for my first year?

They aren’t going to give you a 25% raise. If you want 25% more, you’ll probably need to job hop.

Yup

What do you mean “usually start at 52k”? Normally figures you see are averages. Degrees don’t work in the sense that you have this degree so you make x amount. A degree would qualify you for different jobs that would have different pay. I would imagine accounting degree entry level jobs have an average of around 50 k where less technical jobs pay 35-45 and more technical jobs would be 60-80 so it averages out in the 50s.

Better off finding new job

Also in terms of seniority and salary are these roles any different?
