Anyone left PA to industry as a new manager? I’m up for promotion this year and have been thinking about leaving and just browsing through job listings. Many job descriptions explain you’ll be the point contact for all external tax preparers and report directly to the director of Tax. Not sure if it’s the imposter syndrome speaking, but I feel under qualified. Is it recommended to stay in PA for at least a year in the M role?

Left as an experienced senior (just entering s3 year) and was promoted at the first real opportunity - I was only there for 3 months at the first annual review. Second annual review,promoted up. international tax on a 20 person global tax team.

But I was technically at the manager level when I left, just limited by office size and was told so by the partner at the firm I was leaving and several advisors we worked with - was told directly by a big 4 SM he was surprised I was only a senior.

If you're a high performer in public you'll be a high performer, if not a very top performer, at most companies in industry. Especially if the people you work with have been out of public greater than 5 years. People get very complacent in their jobs and people who are driven out of public either job hop seeking advancement or change their career path entirely and stay in a meaningful (making enough to make it worthwhile) yet easy lower totem role.
