just realized i accepted an offer a little below what i deserve (after i started with the company). Accepted 85K as a S1 Advisory (FDD/Val) in MCOL. it’s been a huge distraction for me these past months. What is the best way to resolve this professionally? Just wait until promos and pray they give me a boost?

Then 85k is extremely low given mcol, but once an offer is accepted there is not much you can do in terms of negotiation.

In theory, you’ll get bumped to the same as your peers over time? Right?

Or does that only work against us when we sign fat external hire salaries that are normalized to peers over time..

I’m in the same boat as you. Making 76k as a borderline FDD/Val S2 in a LCOL..

Currently looking elsewhere, no other option than hope they try to match your offer.

If you’re interested in a middle market firm fully remote and great wlb (chargeable 25-30 hours a week), salary at 100-110k base let me know. I put my two weeks in recently because I found a great opportunity outside accounting but it’s been a great experience there and I started in EY audit
