Y need to exit. Y not be cushy til retirement. Exiting is just going back to the same mess that caused you to leave for IA to begin with.

I looked into it, got my CIA designation, hated the work and got into advisory

Did work through big4 contracted to do IA work

I left IA to come back to public at Deloitte. Cannot wait to get back to AI. 3 years of public is enough. I wanna make good money and not stress or work more than 40. IA is the way to go. I regret leaving.

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?
