I'd be willing to bet less than 1% of accounting graduates make 100k 5 years from graduating
I would be willing to bet that none of that 1% work for the big 4. Not knocking the big four. I did my time, just happy to be done.

I put in my 5 years at a Big 8 firm. When I left in 1994 I left for a tax director gig that paid me $90,000 plus bonus of at least $20,000 per year. I can't imagine that salaries haven't increased sginificantly in the 18 years that have transpired.

Decided to run some very quick best case scenario numbers. It is possible to hit 100k at the start of a 6th year in B4, but it will be very difficult. Unless someone is on the Partner track, then it probably isn't possible on the Audit/Tax side.
I imagine this is more attainable on the consulting side. Salary growth really separates after this point in time though.
