I live in LCOL, just finished my 2nd year in audit, accepted a financial reporting role in industry and my new salary is 100K. It’s pretty close to yours and I just have two years of experience.… If I loved Audit and was trying to work my way up, then maybe I’d be ok with it. But if we are just talking salary, you’re under paid considering your years of experience imo. You could easily apply elsewhere and get a big pay bump

Lol I’m definitely not “stuck” & It was just an example. I’m not trying to convince them to come to financial reporting. I’m just trying to say that if you have 7 years of experience & making the same salary as someone with 2 years of experience, then it might be time to move on. You could even go apply to a different big four for the same role and make more money.

M2 Texas $110,000. I agree I could probably go make more money elsewhere but I’ve worked in industry and hated the directors and VP mindset. A few were good but it only takes one crappy one to make everything terrible and most people in industry stay in their positions forever. I like the people I work with and the flexibility my job has at this level. I also don’t want to job hop for just money since I have had a terrible experience in industry before and feel like money is only worth so much when it comes to my life.

So my VP at my previous company felt bad and refused to speak to me or attend my farewell after my resignation. His reason was that I somehow betrayed his trust as he had promoted me just last year (after keeping the position open for 4 months and letting me take additional work load after the previous SM left!). Does this make any sense? I mean where does this sense of entitlement or ownership over the employees come from? No wonder the company in question is kind of facing a literal exodus!
