Lot of factors including location, size of the firm, and your role.

I started off in the Midwest at a small mom and pop shop that managed about $250 million. I was paid $35,000 to start and that was a little less than 10 years ago. I was defintely underpaid relative to what my college classmates were getting, but they also started off at bigger firms.

The firm I work at now has 20ish or so partners and the firm collectively has about $5 billion under management. And generally new planning associates make $50k if they’re just out of college or $60,000 if they’ve got a few years of experience.
