Great advice, especially about avoiding the expensive car. The Camry I own free and clear drives so much better than a brand new Lexus with an $800 a month payment. Take the money you would be putting towards a car and investment it instead, your future self will thank you.

Big4 salaries are slowly rising. Getting a MSA and MST makes a difference. I can confirm NYC Big4 salaries for tax w/o MST is in mid 60K range whereas with the MST its in the low 70K range. However, they seem generally lower than starting salaries for let's say healthcare - RN, PA, RPH, etc. I've noticed a shift of CPAs are pursuing other interests such as compsci & healthcare as result of the work life balance & generally higher starting pay.

Great video, but you have been getting under paid from the start. If you have your CPA, you should not be accepting any salary under 150k. Big 4 look great under your belt but never pay you what you deserve.

How are you suppose to tell them “pay me 150k” as no one gets that?
