Leaving PwC CMAAS. I have 2 YoE audit and 2.5 years of advisory. Currently making $135k. What comp should I be targeting? I’ve found a role that’s $145k, fully remote. Am I underselling myself or should I just be happy to find a role in this market?

To go make less?

100% underselling

Why do you say that and what would you target?

CMAAS pays above what the other firms pay for AAS services.

If you are going into an accounting based role, it’s going to be difficult to get a big bump in base salary. Unless you exit to a job with a better title.

If your base salary will be similar try to make up for it in bonuses, benefits and wlb.

What was your title at PwC? Senior Associate or Manager?

It’s how the industry is, if you do look for an accounting manager job you’ll probably be in the 120-150k range. Maybe you can look for an assistant controller role on a smaller team for $150k+

like

CMAAS to some sort of Financial Reporting leadership role (Manager/Director of Fin. Rep) is usually a path. Keep looking, you’ll find a role with a healthy raise.

You’re very early in your career with just 5 YOE so it’s way too early to settle for a lateral move compensation wise. You’re nowhere near having the dreaded golden handcuffs that your Directors have.

You *only* make as much money as 1% of the workforce?

You should look for a manager role. Similar background a few years ago and was at 160. Should expect 160-200 as an M1 accounting advisory
