Pwc just offered me 95k with 5k signing bonus. MCOL (Midwest not Chicago) for itax. Coming in at S2 level. Currently making 70k which should be around 80k in October. Think I should make the jump?

That’s awesome for an S2. I was making 80K in DC a few years ago as an S2, and 95K as a manager the year after (was early promoted to senior and manager).

They’re probably giving you a high first year salary but don’t expect a huge raise next July. They’ve likely built in your raise next year to your starting salary. Doesn’t mean you shouldn’t take it, but something to consider.

Appreciate the advice.

Same city or moving? Sounds like you are 2 years away from making this much at your current firm. I would jump.

Yeah same city

Sounds good to me

I wasn’t even making that as M1 in Chicago.

Take it if you don't mind working at B4

Wow, that seems great! Are you a CPA or JD? I would take it and not look back.

Just a CPA

Just curious how long have you been in iTax for?

2 years. 4 years experience working at a small local firm doing individuals and other basic accounting
