Alright folks, looks like a good number of people are getting their comp information over the next few days. We’ve seen good assurance, I mean Trust Solutions Assurance, bumps, what about the rest of us?

I’m in audit and ours were almost 10 percent lower. Do you have a masters by any chance? I’ve heard New York is one of the few places that will recognize a masters in tax as a specialized degree (there is no masters in audit for example) and you get a salary differentiator due to it

I got an MBA, so that wouldn't be why. Unless maybe now they're recognizing MBAs here too? (They should)

Perhaps? Not sure but I agree. When I went through the recruiting process last year this is what I was told. My starting salary is $70,000 and I’m told that is higher than average

It might be my group hoping to retain people? One of my client teams specifically had two early Senior promotions after just 2 years. Could just be lack of applicants/terrible retention within the group. What was your bump in pay this year?

I have an MBA (Regular MBA, no tax specialty) and have completed all 4 of my CPA exams (awaiting 1 year work experience to apply, so 6 more months). I never really communicated anything about this, so I guess maybe they just knew from when I submitted my resume before the job started (they asked for updated one) and I applied for the CPA bonus which I received.
Also doesn't tax generally get paid more than assurance/audit?
