Anyone leave during big four manager 1? Any interviewing tips and tricks? So far I’m finding my experience short for assistant controller roles but interviewers seem worried that I’m not longer in the weeds or hands on enough for senior accounting roles

I left KPMG as a M2. I wasn’t that interested in industry work just yet mainly because I wanted more advisory experience. But I don’t think taking a step back into a senior accounting role is ideal. If you’re committed to industry, I would leave as a M2 to be a controller of a small company.

I was going to say join an advisory firm for more breadth outside of Big4, before you go into industry (just so you don’t get pigeon - holed) but the pay would be fairly comparable.

What’s going on FB friends,

I am contemplating a move to industry working at a VC, Tax Director role east coast. Looks like it will be primarily overseeing compliance with some aspect of advising on structures etc. There is another tax reporting head above me.

The potential comp is the low 200k with a 10% bonus (still higher than what I am making). I feel this is pretty low for VC standards but maybe my standards are also too high. I have generally seen 25% bonus with carry.

Any thoughts?
