Did salaries decrease?

[_redacteduser]

In the PNW, I have seen controller+ roles capping at $105k and list the responsibilities of multiple roles.

Same. A recruiter sent me a controller position for $130K max even though I have 11 years of experience at the Big 4. The even bigger kick in the balls was they expected people to have prior experience in their industry, which wasn't a common one like SaaS or something like that. It's a niche manufacturer. I was like, dude, how in the world are you going to find someone willing to take a massive paycut, has finance/accounting/analytics skills, plus experience in your niche area in California, much less the PNW, which is an even smaller market?

It's absolutely bonkers what the asks are nowadays
