    My friend is wondering what salary to expect...

    He is ACA recently qualified.
    His 3.5 year of training has been in industry.
    He is currently on about 36k.
    He now wants to work in practice.

    Will he get lower salary because his training was in industry? Whats the least he sould accept or most he should hope to get?

    One firm is offering him 30k. He sould probably just keep looking but perhaps 30k is reasonable considering his experience is in industry........

    30k is an insult.

    He should be getting 40k+

    40 in practice, 45 in corporate sector and 50 in financial services.

    In most industry jobs you will only get higher money by moving. I know a lot of ppl still working in my old employer who are qualified (i'm only part qual) who are on 7-8k less than me. If they moved they'd probably be offered 45 - 50k but they are comfortable where they are and not willing to take the chance that they might not like the new company.

    Your friend should be well over 40. I'd say probably 45k.

    He should definitely get 45K. Just qualified ACAs in Big 4 firms get 45K as soon as they've passed their FAEs (i.e. with 2 years experience). Regardless of the fact that his experience is in industry I think he shouldn't accept anything lower than 42 or 43K minimum - more if he's willing to work in FS as they're desperately short of staff in that area.
