Just got an email from a recruiter looking for a tax manager for a CPA firm that works hard but loves to have fun. 4+ YOE with CPA in HCOL (LA, San Diego, Orange County). Comp is 75k-85k. Is this recruiter delusional?

Depends on what the “fun” is 😏

Bonk

All recruiters are full of shit. Spoke to one and she had a job offer for $70k. I said thank you, no thank you. I was already making over $100k at that time. She responded with a disgusted tone that $70k was a great salary in North Carolina and I should not turn it down. I didn’t even live in NC, I lived/worked in DC.

🤮 no CPA and 1YOE in accounting (13 in other areas) and I earn 70k base in DC. Sounds terrible.

Sounds like recruiter will be looking for a long time to fill that role. I made 80k as a second year associate in tax.

Be polite, but honest. The compensation is not consistent with your target.
