What can I expect as a first/second year M&A Tax Senior in Chicago in terms of salary? I hear $100k seems to be the market rate these days but that seems far fetched to myself

My salary as an A2 was $95k. First year as senior is $115k.

As a CPA, not a JD. idk what the JD’s make.

Are you a cpa or JD? I would guess jd’s get about 10-15% more on average.... not sure but would love to hear from someone who knows

100k sounds about right for a CPA

CPA

If you’re coming from a different firm and negotiating an offer I would say go high, even around $110k but know you’ll probably get pushed down to around $100k.

If it’s an internal transfer assume you’ll be bumped to high 90’s at best and that probably won’t happen immediately

What do you do when you feel the goalpost has been/is being moved re: billable requirements? Like there's a spoken vs unspoken? I chose this job based on billables vs salary and what I'm being told I'm expected to do now is 20-30% (at least) > than what was initially agreed upon. Given my other life responsibilities, this is creating a huge strain & I feel like this is slowly getting harder & harder on my spouse & kids. I'm grateful to have lots of good work but not sure how to course correct.

I am a registered sales assistant which means I have my series 7. I also have the 63 and my Life & Health license.

I have a gut feeling that I’m not being paid market value but it’s tough to find comparable salaries. Do you think $15.38/hr is a fair wage in this case?
