I interviewed at a mid-size CPA firm in my town and I think they will be extending an offer to me.

1 – I have not worked as an accountant officially, but have done various accounting tasks through my current job as well as interim treasurer for a non-profit that I am on the Board for.

2 – I have my EA designation, but have not worked a tax season yet.

3 – God willing, I will be done with the CPA exam by 11/30/2015 and my experience requirement is already met.

During the interview they said if an offer were to be made, the absolute minumum they would offer would be 10% more than what I earn now, but if I look on salary.com, in my area, the median salary for this position is roughly 24% more than what I earn now. These are entry level Accountant I salaries, and I feel I am at least a little better off than entry level.

What do you guys think I might see as an offer, and what figure should I realistically shoot for?

Sorry, never gone through this process before, just looking for a bit of opinion or guidance.
