What’s a reasonable first year senior salary at a midsized accounting firm in advisory and HCOL? For add’l context, my title is risk advisory but our group considers themselves consulting; we do more project management, process improvement, business transformation, generally CFO support.

Oh yikes I’m a good bit below that now— like that would be a 50% pay increase, but I’d love that to be true

I’d expect between 95-120 base

Keep getting approached by rival firms for ~50% salary increases in London. Raised it with my company and got a 5% raise. Don’t want to sound ungrateful but doesn’t scratch the surface of the underpayment of where I am, it’s well below market rates. Manager hinted at getting an offer which they could counter could help but, I can’t see them matching 45-55% I could get elsewhere. Like the work and culture here and salary isn’t everything, but unsure how to approach this. 26 YO with 2.5YOE.
