Depends on the service line. For audit, around 50-55

As an intern, apply to multiple firms and compare the offers. I doubt they'll be too far off.

In audit it was 50 a few years back. I think it's 55+ now

Many offices have had the same starting salary for that 8+ years

53 in tax San Francisco 4 years ago. I think up to 60-63 now.

LA, 54-58

What are realistic expectations for 3rd Year Analyst / Direct Promote Associate bonus range at a BB?
