Ladies and Gents,
I’m an associate with 2.5 years of audit experience and a CPA. I’m currently making $62k and feel like I should be making much more. What is a realistic salary range to negotiate?

2.5 years? Did you get left back or are counting intern experience? Also, go to a bigger firm. I started above that (in NYC).

What makes you feel that you need to make more?

Several peers have pointed out that less qualified/experienced associates are making significantly more so it’s just something I’ve started thinking about

Big 4 - 2nd years are making $67k-$70k. Those with over 2 years of experience now considered Seniors are at $77-80k. Your years of experience seem to fall under the $77-80k, however you mentioned you are still an associate?

@D1 pay is dependent on a number of factors such as city and etc. On average D2’s are not making 67k... in Texas it’s $58k

Based on the starting salaries for new hires rising, it’s possible that your salary didn’t adjust to accommodate equity. Gather your data and ask for a raise. Most employers can’t afford to lose a productive person and may meet your request.
