what was your field again?

accounting

it was audit, right?

Public accoutning firms do give 15% raises damn near every year. Your job description changes every year and you are expected to work more hours each year while taking on much much more ressponsibility. They tend to slow down considerably.

Starting wage for us outta college in Big 5 (at the time) was $44K. I have never heard of anyone getting greater than 20% a year though.
So using JS80's % raises. Salary would go from $44K -> $59K ->$82K->$103K.

Last I knew experienced seniors were not getting paid $103K.....................
