Pre-pandemic, what would you say is a fair advisory associate starting salary in the Big 4 for an experienced hire (masters, non-CPA, 2-3 years of progressive non-big 4 experience) in the midwest coming in at the associate level?

I’m Midwest adjacent and came in at 65 during the pandemic as an experienced hire.

Yes - think Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Columbus, Cincinnati, etc

If you’re going for entry level associate 75k. Experienced associate 80 - 85k. This highly depends on COL. I’m firm New York and this figures seem to be the standard from what I’ve seen

My bad didn’t see the Midwest part

If yes, how can I provide the same? If I don't provide, will there be any issue.

The production budgets range from roughly 200k-500k per shoot depending on how many days it is. I get paid 75k yearly which is feeling pretty low when I do the math. Is that fair?

Hi tax 🐠,

I have a question for those who prep individual tax returns.

However, would it be advantageous to have him file for his own tax return (he stays with my parents and doesn't have his own proof of residency via bills). If so, can he get PTC if his income is 0?
