What’s the base salary range for industry tax manager position? I’ve been looking and it’s around 120-130k base which is barely higher than my current comp as a first year manager.
Mid-high COL.

Unless you are going to an investment management shop that will work you hard, 120-130k is the going rate for a 1st year mgr.

Depends on a lot of different factors, but mainly your specific work experience, years of experience, and credentials. COLA also matters to some degree but matters less post pandemic. Size of the place you’re going to also matters to some degree. I’d say 120-130 is on the low end, and probably low 200s on the high end. 140-160 probably a fair median

I would ask high if you feel like you can justify it. Then, if they want you, you’re at least more likely to get an offer at the top of their range

Indsutry tax manager roles can be very broad and different. Some may require 5 YOE and have a budget of 1st year manager. Some may require 7 years minimum with a higher budget. But on average indsutry salary for tax manager and above can't really compete with PA nowadays. You hourly rate will be better though.

That seems like the case. When I was a senior I always wanted to leave as a manager but now I feel like it doesn’t make a ton of sense as I’d be leaving for effectively the same pay.

The main difference is hours worked!

Plus industry roles usually have nice annual bonus.

All my six-figure salary consultant friends are ranting about how poor they feel right now because their IRAs/portfolios are down. Think the people in this industry need to take time to volunteer or engage with some tougher parts of town and understand that by virtue of even having investment accounts, that they’re more financially safe than at least 50% of America. Sad to see

I’m going crazy in Audit, I’m an A2. I think I’m going to try and transition to consulting. Would it be smarter to stay within the firm or go to a new one, and is there a half-step I should take (such as going to TAS for a year or so) before going into consulting? I just want more exposure to companies I work on than just the audit, it doesn’t feel like stuff I’ll be using in 5 years (but I’d be happy to be proven wrong on that). Business strategy/biz dev is catching my interest recently.
