For a senior accounts exec who don't manage people, $5k is good. Otherwise, how much do you think you are worth?
I really do not know how much i am worth. That's why I am posing the question (my original post) here. I do know that some of my peers are getting between 7k+ to 5-figure sum. Most jobs advertised asked for degree holders with 3 to 5 years of experience, none asked for 15 yrs or more. The occasional rare ones are for Financial Controller, CFO, etc., a different calibre.

If you are an accounting grad, it also does not guarantee that after 15 to 20years, you will automatically be at the top, holding a CFO, FC, etc post. But pay wise, I believe it will be a 5-figure salary.
