I personally don't think the trade-off is worth it when you consider how many long nights and weekends it takes to get there. Could you be making more in public or going public and then jumping to industry? Absolutely. People 15 years into their career here are making around $120-130k. 3-6 years is a more common promotion schedule to Senior I here.ģ) Lower salary cap. You'll probably be making more $ than that senior for not-insane job responsibilities though so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. You almost certainly won't make senior in 2 years like you would in public accounting. Not that we haven't had people leave to take high up positions in public accounting, this just isn't the way to fast track that.Ģ) Slower career advancement. etc.ġ) If you want to be a B4 partner this is not the career for you.

The Senior I salary minimum for DC is ~$97k and the Senior II salary minimum for DC is ~$108k. That will put you at ~$92k after two years of work. New hires who meet performance expectations will get an approximately 7% raise every 6 months for the first two years. For DC, the current minimum fulltime starting salary is $69,977. Overtime (very rare) is paid at 1.5x or you get an hour of PTO for every OT hour you work - your choice. Here is my candid take on the agency, feel free to AMA as well.ġ) Work life balance is incredible.
