What’s considered a good salary for an experienced external hire associate role at KPMG Deal Advisory-AAS in a HCOL (Los Angeles)?

Haven’t received my offer letter yet but my recruiter asked for my compensation expectation which I gave the range of $85k - $90k. Am I lowballing myself? Lol. I saw a PwC CMAAS experienced associate with a 92k salary with only 1 year of experience (external hire).

I think 85k is a great salary for an associate outside of NYC/SF. Also if you don’t know the city of where that salary is from at PwC, it wouldn’t be the best comparison. If you want more money, when you get your offer letter go ahead and ask for more money, it within your right to do so, just know if you’re asking for a salary higher than your pre discussed ranges the chances of it changing are probably slim.

I agree with PwC1, that has been my experience as well. I’ve never seen or heard of an offer getting revoked purely for negotiating. Worst they can say is no

2nd years don’t make 92 in any location in cmaas… that’s first year senior in t3 city

We’re also on cohorts so there isn’t variability, all A2’s in the same tier city make the same
