My salary is $55,700 after being promoted from staff 1 to staff 2 in the central region. Does that seem low?

Hired in 2011 in MSP at 50k out of school and made about the same money as you staff 2 year. Pretty standard for lower cost of living cities - sure you’re making less than new hires in NYC but you’re also able to live a substantially nicer lifestyle when you’re not paying $2k+ for your share of rent with roommates.

I haven’t seen any real movement in starting tax or audit salaries in the 10 years or so I’ve been aware of them. If anything they’ve come down after they spiked a little for the roll out of SOX

My situation is the same as yours, central region staff 2 with the same salary. When I opened the comp statement, I think it was a joke.

We are a firm of 5 transactional attorneys and the bonus structure is very unclear. The usual “based on personal performance and firm profitability” language. I wonder how this is calculated in general. What is the percentage bracket of the bonus? Assume it is a high performance 9+ year attorney and the firm is profitable (even with COVID). The based salary is low $120k. Firm is in Tx. I’d love to hear your comments.
