Started from UG @ 4 consulting with a group that is under the audit practice (composed of people without cpa and no audit work at all). 62k (NYC) starting salary — feeling underpaid. Opinions?

look for an exit. worth moving cities if you can’t get a substantial raise at another firm imo. that’s not enough to live in the city. i know i’m 7 years out of UG with predictable lifestyle creep, but i imagine you’re just scraping by.

inb4 all the bleeding hearts point out the service workers who make less. do they though? a waiter or bartender at a big4 analogous restaurant in NYC probably makes about the same, if not more. they might even have benefits too. yeah, some people in the city are poorer. they don’t work for a big4 firm.

the 2 year mark is a good time to leave so it sounds like your mind is in the right place.

My friend got 63 and graduated '18 so you’re fine no offense

Also edit: I don’t think you’re entitled (I see you calling yourself that) and do think you should be paid more

I mean do you have a wealth of undergrad and high school experience that justifies a high salary? You’re in the audit group without a CPA and even accountants don’t make very much.

My other comment apparently isn’t showing up. You’re appropriately compensated for your job - look at how much seniors make in audit with a CPA. That said, 60k in New York isn’t a lot. I’d look for an exit. It’ll probably be easier once you cross the 12 month mark but it may be difficult to avoid another entry level position especially if you go to industry.

Audit doesn’t pay... pretty sure the hierarchy is Strategy > Advisory > Audit at big 4 in terms of pay

I’d agree to the hierarchy and have been told that because we’re under audit umbrella that’s why the pay is less — even though we have many projects with strat and advisory on the same team, doing the same thing. Just seems unfortunate.

Trying to evaluate monetary offers is difficult since I receive a significant bonus for maintaining my clearance (120k + 30k for the clearance). So I’m evaluating a non-cleared offer for 180k. I don’t want to hold the clearance anymore. Should I evaluate it against the 120 or the 150 in terms of answering the question “is the jump big enough to leave?” With bonus and without clearance, it’s a 40% or so jump, but only a 12-15% jump with only bonus and base included.
