That's too low. Organic S1s in LCOL are at 72k. I would try for 80-95k for a rehire/external situation depending on your level (S1-S3) and COL.
As someone who was away for a year doing something way more interesting and enjoyable than audit, just brace yourself because it is not a fun feeling coming back to it. There’s a good chance you will be a lot more disgruntled with the dumb things you encounter day-to-day and your motivation is likely to be a lot less than when you left.
Ya I'm kinda nervous about that but I'm trying to make sure I'm prepared for it as best i can. At least I'd be going in with a realistic view instead of the idealistic ones new grads have lol
How was your experience going back? Pretty easy? Hard?
Ask for 80-95k plus signing. And apply to other places as well in case your prior firm won't meet your needs. You chose a good year to come back 🎉
FWIW I made $76k as an S1 audit senior in DC this year before being promoted to an S2 at $85k one month ago. DC is way higher COL than Florida. So take what you will from these other posters, but this was my actual experience over the last 3 months. I would ask for $75k...there are places that will straight up then you down if your salary expectations are too high, Deloitte did it to me this month when I applied! (And am ending up going to EY now.) The market is hot so your gap probably won't matter, but if you going up against a candidate without a gap you likely lose...
Gotcha! That’s a great salary raise, congrats!
Depending on area - they are hiring S2’s in NYC at 95+
Ya but new York is high cost of living and probably the most work pressure anywhere. Standard in Florida where I would go is probably upper 60s to mid 70s now
