I'm in Silicon Valley, we are the highest paid office in the nation.

My buddy in Chicago is at $63K + bonus of about $5-6K and we are at the same level.

Not anywhere near $100K, after my promotion to manager I should be close with Bonus's. Prolly missing promotion this year due to my failure in life of passing the CPA exam.

Thats understandable since you haven't pass your CPA exam.
My sister is an auditor for the government and she makes around $80K after 10yrs.
I figure she would make alot more if she work on the outside. She did pass the CPA.

My estimate turns out to be pretty good :)

BS Accounting - Pac-10 Public University


FYI: CPA's in public get paid no higher than non-CPA's. Only reason to have your CPA other than to impress your friends is to sign off on the Financial Statement Audit. A position that only a Partner can perfrom at the firm.

I have realized it is important to impress my friends with this title and will therefore finalize the "hoopjumping" procedure this summer and pass all my parts and get licensed this summer.
