Chief
I was recently hiring for a senior accountant in DFW (I’m in industry now) and had approval for up to $105k plus bonus of 10%.
That’s awesome, sounds like you made a great move.
Are you in tax?
No in Audit
Looks like moves to industry can reliability bring a bump of 20-25% base. That's what I'd tell you is reasonable to expect.
So that would mean it’s at lease 100k I should go for.
Rising Star
"competitive"
I’m in dfw, left after 5 years (had just promoted to manager) for 115k with 20% bonus late last year.
With 4.5 YOE in audit I would expect $100K minimum and that’s only if you really like the company and it has good work life balance or other benefits. I’d say $100-$125K is a realistic expectation for industry. I know quite a few people who have hit more like $150K with your experience so that’s also doable but these are going to involve companies that are generally very competitive and demanding
It depends what kind of roles you’re looking for and how good your resume, network & interview skills are looking.
$100K roles with your experience are a dime a dozen. $125 is doable but you’ll have to prove you’re the right one for the job. $150K will generally involve firms that might demand a lot out of you, including OT.
In general I feel like B4 auditors tend to undervalue themselves. For example, I’m in a similar market as you (Houston) and just left PwC audit with 2 YOE for $100K. Plenty of people with a couple years more than me have recently been leaving for $125-$150K, and I know a couple who left after just 1 YOE for $100K
