What would you consider a decent starting salary at a regional or big 4 firm?

You can come to your own conclusion, but here are some facts:

Firm: PwC

City: Philadelphia, PA

LOS: Risk Assurance – Internal Audit

Position: Associate

Start Date: Jul/Aug 2014

Salary: $53,000

It will depend heavily on location and line of service. Also, certain big firms start slightly lower and have a more progressive pay scale (I heard the equivalent position at Deloitte is starting at $58,000). You must also consider work environment – PwC prides themselves on their people/atmosphere.

Big 4, Risk Assurance Associate
FAR 02/19/14 81
AUD 04/03/14 73 (retest 8/30, 9/8 HOPEFULLY LAST score release)
REG 05/22/14 74, 08/01/14 83
BEC 07/01/14 82

Depends on the office's location.

Yeah, I'm starting at a regional firm in a smaller town/city in September with a starting salary of 47,000. I really wanted to reach that 50,000 mark, but didn't quite make it haha Just curious as to what other people were starting at.

Location is the big factor.
