@semi senior - mind if I ask which firm you work at. An audit 3rd year, aka senior, at my firm needs to be a high performer to break 70k in nyc

like

I won't disclose what firm, I make 65k, only been through 1 busy season, minimum promo between 6 seniors that told me there salary was 70 with the highest making 74 as a big performer the other 4 made between 71-72

like

I went from 60 to 64 to 68. Between 6-7% increase which is average. I plan on maybe negotiating more in my next promotion meeting but 1-3K difference isn't huge.

There are a bunch of salary sites that can get you the info you request. An A3/S1 in NYC probably makes around 80K

I'm severely underpaid then. Starting third busy season at 68K. #SadLife

Where do you live OP?

Manhattan

Lol no. But I have a 3 bedroom converted to 4 bedroom. So sharing with 3 roommates I pay around 1450/month

OP I'm looking to move to manhattan in the summer (currently on Long Island). Are you in a very nice apartment? I always assumed if you flexed a three bedroom into a 4 bedroom it would be closer to $1000-$1100 for a decent sized place

Yeah I really like my apartment. My roommates and I pay based on size of room. We set a price for the smallest and then said next biggest pays 50 dollars more and so on. I have the 3rd biggest room.

I am betting that I can get the same money at a place with a better culture - hopefully I am right!

For context, I have 4 years of experience in a hospital blood bank and am a certified Medical Laboratory Technologist. I was thinking in the 65-70k range, but the recruiter made it seem like that was easily attainable so I’m worried I’m asking too low. Would 75-80k be do-able?
