@op how are you a senior two years out of undergrad? You got promoted from A to SA in 1 year or are you going on year 3? Either way that’s inline with SA salary in Chicago.

Your bonus was 13k? Very high

like

Yup typical

So you came in at 75 and got bumped to 79, and then to 87 on the promotion year? Something like that?

2 years out of undergrad, at 100k base

^ s&o does not pay that I came from there

This is commensurate. All in can push ~110K depending on bonus.

I came in out of undergrad at 67 base for year 1. Year 2 went up to 74. Got promoted and am in year 3 at 87

Jump ship if you're looking for that 20% bump
