Equal to average Avnet Tax Accountant salary ($60K)

"In tax you will start your career underpaid and overworked, especially in public. Most people start feeling their compensation coming in line with their value around years 4-6. I took a chance and made a jump much earlier, which has payed off greatly in terms of both better pay and more work-life balance. Be cautious but don't let a Big4 HR rep convince you not to make what you know can be a good move for yourself. If your firm ever got in trouble lord knows they'd axe you in a heartbeat."
