Looking for an accounting manager job in SoCal. Why is industry salary even lower than public accounting salary? I’m seeing job posts about accounting manager with $120k salary. This is lower than public accounting.

Why would you expect industry salaries to be higher than public? It's almost always lower. Less hours and less stress plus public pays very well so this all tracks.

Twice I've gone from public to industry and both times took a pay cut.

People's opinions vary on this but typically big firm experience helps your marketability later.

Employers' market. People staying in their jobs + excess candidates. I'm seeing the same in NYC.

Agreed
