There aren’t a ton other than other firms.
Experience level? $135k doesn’t seem particularly underpaid for T&E outside the largest firms.
3 years, but worked as a tax CPA for 6 years prior.
Honestly that seems pretty reasonable.
For context my wife is in the ~170k range for a second tier HCOL area with 10 YOE. From the group of people she networks with it seems most are in the 160-200k range for high end boutiques and smaller NALP250 firms.
It’s just not a high paying area because at the end of the day, it’s really hard to get a significant number of hours at the high rates that attorneys making 300-400k bill at.
Even my wife’s boutique runs into billing pressure from clients who are (or expect to be) federally taxable either on rate structures or total fees.
Maybe I switch to general tax then? I’m not cut out for M&A
