To all of you saying that’s too low - you have to realize how much further a dollar gets you in a low COL. You can get a one bedroom apartment that isn’t a shithole for $800/month (parking included) or a 2000 sq ft home for $250k. Parking costs are next to nothing unless directly downtown. And food/drinks are way less expensive. $80k in a low COL is equivalent to $150k+ in NYC or close to $200k+ in SF.
@ey2 sounds like EY has the highest comp for audit seniors .. I know some audit senior 1s/2s who work for the other big 4 in NYC and they all make low 70s
Outside of Chicago approx 80k
^ that’s unreal how low that is
Thanks. Other posts had me thinking it was $95K. That must be high COL.
First year tax manager in Midwest - 86k. Low COL
That seems so low, that’s a senior 1/2 salary in a high COL
@ey2 which city are you referring to? I need to transfer to that office
