I work in technical accounting at a public company at manager level. I get paid about 20% more than other accounting managers here, I have no month-end responsibilities but I do have involvement in SEC reporting which keeps me busy on a quarterly basis.

On average I probably work about the same as others but our busy times are different. I feel like mine aren’t as bad though but last longer.

What I like is that I get to think hard about things, come up with unique solutions/conclusions, there is less recurring things to do like a robot and more reading/understanding and applying guidance.

Being prepared to speak to how we approached our audit of unique transactions. Essentially just demonstrating that I had the ability to look an a non-recurring transaction and interpret guidance to correctly apply GAAP and document the thought process.

Most of my experience was in equity, financing, business combinations, revenue, and leases.

Rising 2nd year here: been rethinking my choice as an M&A attorney. I've had a rough go of it over the first year-and-a-half of practice and am thinking about moving to a different practice area. I'd like to stay on the transactional side, but am not quite sure what areas I can leverage my corporate and M&A skills in. I was thinking T&E (i.e. business succession planning, etc.)

Would greatly appreciate input from others.
