When I was looking earlier this year for senior roles a lot of industry places topped at 95-105K. Even the F500 ones. When pressed they said "It's because you'll do less then in public and it's market rate".

I seen those roles get filled so I think their are plenty of PA people willing to take the 95k to get out of public.

Changed firms and now making 120k. Think I'll wait until manager to try again.

This is for Tax

Yeah, having the same internal dilemma about waiting till manager. Seems like the pay bump for manager is much more significant when exiting B4, wondering if I’m losing out on upward mobility by leaving too early

For context, an a S2 at B4 looking to exit. I feel like all the roles I’ve looked at top out at 100K, is that really what industry is paying right now? Feels low

Rates are higher but the more known the company the compensation goes down. Especially if you are applying to be a general senior accountant. If you go into a technical role or reporting role you might get a little more money. Also look into tech companies. They tend to pay more too.

I’ve got 5 very relevant years of experience and will have an associate manager directly reporting to me. Are there any marketers out there who can share their salaries in similar regions and experience levels?

Curious if anyone else is or has been in the same boat. I started as an assistant at an entertainment law firm prior to passing the bar. Upon passing, the partner told me they would hire an assistant for me since I now became an associate. That was 1.5 years ago and I am still in the limbo of juggling my own workload + doing assistant roles for my supervisors. I have also had no increase in pay, which is a huge deal for me. Is this normal in the entertainment world? Any suggestions?
