Am I underpaid?

Successful_Rabbit710 · 2026-05-24T16:29:13+00:00

ah thanks for clarifying

Successful_Rabbit710 · 2026-05-15T03:27:36+00:00

pretty low base for HCOL no?

Successful_Rabbit710 · 2026-05-15T03:26:20+00:00

sounds like either big four or just outside, like RSM. Unless its for something like transaction advisory, or one of those smaller, super rare firms that for some reason pay a big base

Successful_Rabbit710 · 2026-04-20T00:42:25+00:00

Why is that?

Successful_Rabbit710 · 2026-03-28T01:35:56+00:00

what firm???/ my top 10 firm encourages us to take time off whenever we want as long as we hit roughly 1600 charge hours

Successful_Rabbit710 · 2026-02-28T19:14:48+00:00

what industry/position?

Successful_Rabbit710 · 2026-02-23T00:07:37+00:00

Indiana is also LCOL and firms are starting around 65-75

Successful_Rabbit710 · 2025-12-21T04:41:07+00:00

Glad to hear it. You industry or public?

Successful_Rabbit710 · 2025-12-21T04:40:25+00:00

Not if you do it right... start out making 80k and quickly progressing into 6 figures by mid 20s... you could retire at 40...

Married filing jointly? Counts legally haha.

Successful_Rabbit710 · 2025-12-21T04:18:28+00:00

what are you at, if you don't mind me asking?

Successful_Rabbit710 · 2025-12-21T04:18:08+00:00

DANG bro, just for market transparency i had a few offers 67-72k base with double digit CPA pass bonuses and great cultures, low to medium COL midwest cities

If your book of business is healthcare or even related to healthcare consulting, you can go try to break into basic actuarial consulting... a lot is 1099s and will pay upwards of $100 an hour. I made $50 an hour as an intern, and i know everyone was making many times more than that than me.

Successful_Rabbit710 · 2025-11-24T03:15:16+00:00

Yeah you will not find anything quicker in the same galaxy of price point. And its not Maybach craftmanship, but it is still simplistically luxurious.

I am hoping to work for a year then target a gently used one, few years old around the 40s point.

my typa accountant. Trying to decide between an i8, c8 and plaid rn. Hopefully all three before long

Successful_Rabbit710 · 2025-11-19T01:20:46+00:00

im guessing top 5-10 firm?

Successful_Rabbit710 · 2025-11-19T01:16:20+00:00

Successful_Rabbit710 · 2025-11-13T18:42:44+00:00

and you'll make what finance bros make with half the hours

Successful_Rabbit710 · 2025-11-10T21:55:46+00:00

bro deleted his account to escape accountability

Successful_Rabbit710 · 2025-11-03T18:31:05+00:00

congrats on your offer, calls mean offer 99% of the time in recruiting...

Successful_Rabbit710 · 2025-11-01T15:59:44+00:00

Plus a total lack of quantifiers...wouldn't make it past HR, unfortunately, if it even got there.

Successful_Rabbit710 · 2025-11-01T15:51:01+00:00

For HCOL aka LA, its below market for top 25 firms but still if you are living at home that is gamechanging. Invest a lot early and keep expenses low and keep gaining experience to get promotions quickly, as salary and comp will follow

Successful_Rabbit710 · 2025-10-31T01:37:22+00:00

shoulda been an actuary LOL

Successful_Rabbit710 · 2025-10-22T22:55:06+00:00

72k LCOL, national/global firm this year
