re: Salary Advice

Of many fields. Not oilfield services myself, but that is my family business.

So is the Harvard grad working in oilfield services as an accountant? I'm trying to figure out why you think that's a relevant comparison simply because the person went to Harvard.

Because its the same geographical region and its the same profession?

That's not exactly a leap in logic.

It's not like the op has/had any experience in supervising people in an accounting setting either.

I guess you put stock into his current duties as if another candidate would be questionable at them, and I do not. We'll just have to disagree on that.

My position is that if you stick a bright, capable new grad in his spot, then they would be comparable and those can be had for cheap.

Once again, not bashing. Just my experience

Wait so is this Harvard grad an accountant?

What Harvard masters degree leads to an accounting job?

Not really. I'm making more than my friend who is a civil engineer. Bonus is: I'm not doing civil engineering work.

specifically petroleum engineers

im in construction. we pay someone 50-60k to do what you do. at my last job i used to do most of the stuff you do (didn't prepare quarterly and year end stuff, and no ap/ar/payroll data entry). i also managed jobs, layout, and bid work for 60k. I was definitely under paid.
