Assistant Accountant

What’s the appropriate salary range for a staff accountant/ senior staff accountant at a high growth bank? I’ve been working my butt off for the last 1.5 years as an assistant accountant and know I’m getting a promotion but not sure how big my raise will be. We had a senior accountant leave in August and I took a lot of his work. Comp review and bonus is happening this week and I want to be prepared . Would love to hear your thoughts.
