$67k for someone with only 2 years working experience is perfectly fine. You're not going to find much more in industry. You might not even be qualified for a senior accountant position in industry. Most of those type positions require 4+ years of experience. I'd be surprised if you cracked $70k with in industry with only 2 years experience...
Hahaha some people on here have really been sipping on that kool aid OP.. to say you're not qualified for a sr. acctg position after 2 years experience, that we get paid really well, you're not going to find much better in industry. ha our very own comp calls have said that we get paid significantly less than industry because we are gaining invaluable experience at a Big4. But that's ok keep sipping ppl 💁
Only? Gtfo.
Lol you're tripping.
Amen EY3. Let's start our own company. A Michael Scott paper company
15 percent. The humanity. Good luck on life outside the nest.
Pays better going in but after that 3% if you are lucky. Was in industry many manybyears
Industry raises are normally no more than 3% for cost of living adjustments. 15% is outrageously good.
Lol masters doesn't mean anything
SM here. Just got notified of a 10% raise yesterday and I am in the range you say gets topped out at. There will be no cap for me next year. You can't stay a senior manager forever though which is probably why you think there is a cap. I'm sure you know the compensation after that is much higher. I've been in industry and was handing out the raises to the accounting group. Guess what they were? 2-3%, except for when there was none because of the economy. I reiterate, you are tripping.
Well going from 59k to 67 when you're a CPA with a masters. You know industry pays better than that man / woman
Was going to say the same thing OP. I am about to be promoted to S1 and I'm getting about a 16% raise while S1 to S2 is only getting about 7%. I'm not sticking around for that.
You're getting caught up with the percentage. Not the actual pay itself though
That's not true at all (at least per the people I know who left) plus there are annual bonuses and stock options (yeah I know the market sucks right now), actual good health insurance. But overall comp is better outside of EY
^thats why you wait until you're 5-7 years experience before making the jump. Then you're jumping in to an experienced industry position in the range from $100k - $150k (salary not including bonus). Also public raises top off at senior manager. You spend as many years at SM as you do at all the other levels. SM aren't getting 10% bumps every year, they top off at around $150k-$170k.
I would agree though that jumping in the 2-3 year mark is not the ideal time to make a jump.
Yeah on top of that. No way I'm staying 5 years. I won't get my 20s back people. I don't want to be 30 and working here. No thanks
I'll second those who have come before. GTFO, industry doesn't give a shit about you yet, you're tripping and entitled, and you should have negotiated your base salary better when you came in instead of bitching on the back end because you only got 15%. You must be out of your mind.
I'm not getting caught up in the %...I understand the $. I'm using all of the experience I have in public and in industry and am telling you that you are tripping.
I started looking for new jobs because I thought about all the money I could make and found I don't have enough experience for quality positions. I would say don't leave for just money, but find a quality position with actual job growth.
