that's not a bad plan either but you really limit yourself

Bump for an old thread:
I'm not having much luck getting any more money. I can't even get them to $60,000 let alone $70,000.

The average salary of those that took industry jobs directly out of my accounting masters program was $65k. While those of us who went big 4 is $57k. I think bonuses are included in those numbers.

Dang, when I went big 4 in Jan 2009 it was only $50k....

I'm almost 10 years removed from my masters. I've had some curves thrown at my career but have 10 years of full time working experience. 7 years of accounting experience, 2 years of running my own business, and one year of management experience (non-accounting related).
Right now I'm not even getting the numbers that you are talking about.

Varies by city. 50k is the low end with 58k being on the high end.

It appears that you have extensive experience and background. I would suggest sending resumes out to other companies. You should be getting paid more.

The numbers I posted are regarding either jobs with a company in the fortune 500 or Big 4 firms in a large market, maybe that's the problem?

I went to school with a guy who is an accountant for Conoco Phillips and he started at 75k.
He went to BYU fwiw. I hear it's one of best programs out there.
