Consolidate your resume to 1 page - especially with only 2 YOE

I'm not seeing any degrees on there.

You can ask for whatever you want. Unless your MBA is from a full-time program at a top 30 school, I'd say the 80-90 range is probably right.

I think 100k is probably a good number for you to land on with the YOE /credentials you've got.

Weird question but why do you still have summary and core competencies section?

You have very little experience. The MBA in my mind would add at most $10K (an MBA is supposed to augment previous experience, which is minimal, so the MBA itself is also of minimal value). Also - having a two page resume for less than 3 years of experience tells me that you're probably still at a junior level. So I think your high end ask is very high.

Remove summary, core competencies, and leadership experience

Not an unreasonable range necessarily, but the recruiters calling you likely aren’t bringing those types of opps (“financial analyst” can mean a lot of different things). Outside of headhunters for very specific types of roles, I’ve found that most third party recruiters are garbage. If you know what you want, try to proactively find roles vs. wait for a recruiter to come to you

Sr financial analyst to director is HUGE range of roles and responsibilities. Titles change, but with your experience you would be a sr, financial analyst in most companies. If you are in Atlanta that is generally $100k or less. So yeah, if you through $130k, I’d feel you are out of touch on what you bring to the table.

"Improved efficiencies" what does that even mean?

I started my career as a back office analyst at a bulge bracket Bank. I think we had equivalent experience after 2 years. At that point I was making 65k. The MBA is not a top program. It might add another 10k. I think you are looking at 75k to 90k target salary.

I think your reach yet realistic target should be senior financial analyst in Fortune 500, be it headquarter or division level offices. Quite a few in Atlanta. Your career and education choices, as many have pointed, are questionable, but it is what it is. Id aim for 75k-90k. There’s no way you’d be remotely competitive for manager or above in any Fortune 500 to be blunt.

Send me a DM with your email and I'll provide you with a template that you can use if you like. I've been working on my resume recently so happy to share how I have it condensed

I’d say the salary is a bit of a stretch given your experience. Analyst level sounds appropriate. $75k-90k would be the comp range I would expect, especially in Atlanta.

What do you make now? Maybe you can make your target range in a consulting firm as a senior analyst or consultant level. But you need to consolidate and polish up the resume.

Your resume shows financial analyst experience starting in February 2023. So a senior financial analyst, manager or director are pretty far out there. For a new mba grad with minimal experience sub 100k is what I’d expect. If you can find someone willing to pay more to for it. Your school should have data on starting mba salaries. I’d be surprised if it’s 100k+ “on average”. Few years you could be up there though with good performance reviews.

Leadership section is not leadership. Nix that section. Also nix the 40 hours per week. Get some resume help. This is a $50-60k resume. Too verbose.

Here's a suggested template

2 YE and you want to be a a Director? Lol. At best you’re a financial analyst. Have you ever managed a team or multiple teams? How many directs have you managed? How big was the largest team? Do you have managerial oversight of programs that move the needle of you firm?

Assuming your MBA is Georgia State, the average graduate salary is $70K; top quartile is $93K. A range of $70K-$95K feels about right… Might be generous, since you have less experience than most MBA grads. https://robinson.gsu.edu/document/employment-report-flex-mba/?wpdmdl=8156
