Hey I was wondering what is the average entry level accountant salary in nyc so I can have a good idea of what to reply during interviews asking for salary expectation

Am I correct in assuming it to be in the 50k range, thats based on my research on sites like glassdoor.com and pay scale

@onmywhey I would guess that a full time offer would be calculated the first way, not the 2nd, since there's 12 months in a year, but more than 160 work hours in a month (40/wk * 52 wks/yr = 2080 hrs/yr; 2080 hrs/yr ÷ 12 months/yr = 173 1/3 hours/mo). However, if by “full-time” you mean “salaried”, whereas right now you're limited to less hours, then I would definitely expect (and require…) a raise if the hours would increase! It sounds, though, like your expectation is that right now you're salaried with unlimited hours and that in the future you might be hourly. I wouldn't count on that, because usually moving up the ladder includes moving from hourly to salaried, not vice-versa.

A good expectation is somewhere in the 56K-62K range. It varies across firms, but typically stays in that area…
