    Do we have any folks from the Gulf Coast Area on this forum? I’m looking at moving back to the Gulf Coast Area and am trying to gauge what the average salaries are. I have 2 yrs of public accounting experience in tax.

    The salary info from glassdoor and indeed ranged from the high 60s to mid-70s for a tax senior. Is this accurate? It seems a bit high for the cost of living in that area, but I am not familiar with the accounting market in this region.

    I appreciate any help with salary info for the Gulf Coast area or nearby (including private industry which I am also looking in to) for someone with 2 yrs of public accounting experience.

    I'm in Baton Rouge and have seen salaries range anywhere from 55-75k with your experience. Generally, licensed CPAs and those with advanced degrees will make on the higher end. What I would do is narrow down the specific firms you are looking at and then research some more.

    My numbers are based on senior salaries at my firm (not Big 4) and as far as I know, that's market.
