What would you say is the minimum salary for MBA, 4-5 years related work experience in the DC metropolitan area? If one wanted to apply at one of the B4 as an associate or consultant?

If you're applying as an associate without public accounting work experience you will start at the bottom like any other associate. What do you consider related experience?

Audit experience

So you'd be applying as a senior associate? You'd probably just get what your experience says. An MBA doesn't do much in terms of salary for public accounting. Depends on market and firm.

Agree with the others. Would be a different story if you were recruited into advisory on campus while working on your mba.

I'm in the DC area...started at 65K last year. I have a MA in Econ with 3-4 years of accounting experience (no big 4)...

If you don't have a cpa and you never were a senior in prior experience you would probably be coming in with similar pay though. MA in Econ also doesn't add value.

@PwC 2, was your accounting experience public ? Because I'm in a market with cost of living at about 75% of DC making 65K after 3 and a half years in public. Not bragging, im surprised that it wouldn't be more and appreciate the heads up since DC was an option.

Nope, no public experience at all

Okay. That tracks then. Thanks for your input.

@PWC 2 are you male or female? 20s or 30s?

That matter?

The age I could see playing a factor but not gender. Us accountants love details though so maybe blame it on that?

Because I am also female and am seeing that men the same age and experience demanding more. Also in my 20s

So you see them asking for more when applying or just receiving more in promo? The difference isn't value. You offered your experience here. Most guys in the anonymous setting would have upselled. Long-term your honesty will serve you better.

Thanks for the encouragement - maybe you have a point

In other words, I could potentially receive quarterly bonuses that add up to around $24,650. However, that bonus isn’t guaranteed according to the offer letter and is contingent on my and my clients performance. Should I take the first job or second job?

Hi fishes,

The rumors about PwC KSDC changing the bonus/hike payout cycle from July to an earlier month between March and June are picking pace. If there is any senior staff, or member with credible information on this, please share your 2 cents. The suspense is killing me, and I am sure many of you echo my sentiments here.

So far, I have heard:
- March
- May
- June
- July but with salary effective from April (paid as arrears in July). Something similar for June as well.
