My company is preparing me to step into the role of Controller, and they recently mentioned a starting salary of $95k. This feels low given the scope of the responsibilities. I know location, industry, and company size matter, but does $95k make sense for a Controller title these days?

I make 95k as a Consultant (equivalent of an individual contributor supervisor). So I’m either vastly overpaid or the Controller is much underpaid.

$95k is definitely on the low end but if it's a smaller organization it makes sense. If you like the place you can always use it as a launching point to a better role in a year or two with a better resume and skill set.

The $ might be in line with smaller companies

Disclose company enployee size and $.

Exactly. At smaller companies titles may be bigger, but pay is lower vs a bigger company.

Hi Everyone. I completed my 1 year in EY in October 2022. And in my profile, they have updated it to Senior Analyst now. But that was a progression that happens every year and I have not received the incremented salary.

Now that they are giving increments to everyone, will I receive both progression and increment or my progression will be counted as increment.

Highly confused.

I am a career changer on mo 4 of a 6 mo sourcer/researcher contract that I’m not sure will be renewed due to team re-organizing. I have 5 YOE basically in an HR generalist role at a company that didn’t have an official HR function, building systems from the ground up. I also have my SHRM-CP. I am looking for a perm, remote HR generalist or program manager position and getting no traction despite a well-reviewed resume. What do I do? Should I go to grad school?
