Dang. M&A tax makes good money. More than most accounting roles.

At what level? Manager probably tops out at 200k base for a jd/llm background in HCOL (plus can definitely get a 10% bonus on top of that). Senior manager can get up to $300k base (plus up to another 15% VC). That top range would be for someone who is practically an MD though.

Bonuses especially at the SM level become more and more heavily book/revenue driven.

What can a non JD make at M/SM? HCOL not NY/SF

Much less of a difference at the M/SM level. You should probably be in line for $150-155 as an M1 and 170-175 as a M2.

For what it’s worth - 15% is a high bonus for a SA (probably 95%ile) so I wouldn’t expect much of a pickup at M level. Same thing happened to me (was in the low teens at the SA levels and didn’t change at M).

Whether it’s worth it to stay is up to you. I left eventually (but made SM in public and spent some time there) and now have an in house role. Total comp is ~250k and reasonable hours.

Im looking to buy a home, program is zero down (no PMI). I make 150k base salary; take home 8k mon. Im looking to buy a house under 350k in my area. Im looking at a payment of about 3k including prop. taxes in a newly gentrifying area. My plan is to house-hack and in a year move out. Is this monthly payment too high? I have under 10k student loans (will get wiped) and no other payments. I want to make sure I can afford it even without tenants just in case.

Hey Bowl,
I work for a late stage(ipo) start up, earlier this year we were acquired & since then they got rid of our yearly bonuses and gave us an ESOP grant.
2 RIFs later we are almost bare bones. Since we are coming up on our usual yearly evaluations many of us assumed (with multiple conversation from our managers) that pay raises and promotions were due.
In a recent All hands we found out that this year there will be no pay raises nor promotions based off merit. Is it time to jump ship?
