It doesn’t? Internal audit pay is about the same as, or lower than, most accounting roles, and significantly less than finance or more specialized forms of accounting

Given that there’s advisory seniors in public accounting making $150K I’m not sure why that’s so hard to believe. You’ll definitely see higher numbers from accountants at consulting firms. And in industry for HCOL/VHCOL and tech/financial services, but I also know people making that in LCOL/MCOL and energy/mining

I don’t know if so high is the right word but it’s specialized like how tax is

External audit is specialized and not highly paid

IA is not that high they all lie to you about the pay and then hire you low

I could be wrong but IA seniors/manager make more than External audit seniors/manager with better WLB as far as I know

I’m considering a less sales-oriented role that doesn’t pay commission. The new role will have a higher base but lower overall earning potential.

What % haircut should be expected? As an example, if I make 100k (base + commission) today, would it be realistic to ask for 90k (10% cut) + equity to make up the difference?
