I would also think more about where you will go versus where you will start. In public accounting, my experience as been that you can make $100k+ in 6 - 7 years! So think about what the opportunity is versus where you start. Some firms will offer $1k more in base salary but that doesn't mean they are the better paying firm in the long run!

Some firms pay more than others, but they could also make you work more hours. I would say that you can expect to receive anywhere from 50-60k if you have a bachelors degree (right out of college).

As mentioned, the base pay of a job is going to depend on many factors. What type of job is it - auditor, bookkeeper, advisory, tax, etc.? Does it require and do you have your CPA certification? Are you a public accountant or in industry? It's also based on where you are located and the size of the company.
