Any B4 managers went into industry senior type roles (senior analyst/accountant)? I feel like I’d be more comfortable into senior type roles since I’ll at least have someone to oversee my work in the new role...

I think it would really depend on the company.. I went in to a senior financial reporting role (wasn’t a B4 manager at the time) at a smaller public company and it was really not that difficult to pick up at all, and the pressure was way less. A stressful day there would have been a great day at pwc.. so I wouldn’t worry to much about needing someone to oversee your work

Yeah actually I did. It paid 25k more than my manager job and was a high visibility role for a growing tech company so I decided to go for it. I definitely don't think titles are reflective of the job in a lot of cases. I am doing some staff accountant things, like account recs and accrual JEs and I don't have anyone reporting to me. However, I also have implemented some process improvements and SOX controls and am writing white papers. So it's a nice mix of challenging and not so challenging work. I report directly to the corporate controller who is under the CAO. I will say that coming from audit, I didn't have as strong of an accounting background that some of my counterparts in industry do but I think my boss knows that and tries to play on my strengths in other ways (i.e. good at research, experienced in controls). I agree with you though that I wouldn't have felt 100% confident stepping into an accounting manager role without someone overseeing me so this was a nice stepping stone for me. I would just make sure there is a clear path for advancement and that you will be challenged enough so you don't get bored.

I saw someone else do this, so imma give it a shot.

which is fair, and to show my credibility I published my first app last week, but I’m still getting similar messages from recruiters this week. Idk what to do??

Offering advice to job seekers who go around recruiters and message hiring teams, execs, etc. You are putting the Recruiters job in danger. If a Recruiter declines you or doesn’t choose to reach out, it is because the hiring team declined you, or you don’t have the experience. You will most likely not be considered for future roles because of this. When I see people giving advice to reach outside the Recruiter, it’s bad advice. Very rare is this a good idea.
