CPA been with PwC for one year, 8 years total in PA. I enjoy provision prep and my only exposure to it is with PWC. I’m thinking I want to be the corporate accountant, or financial analyst or whatever for one set of books (ie, industry) instead of jumping around to multiple clients. Should I stay the recommended 2 years, or pursue that industry role where I can focus on one company or just stay with PwC where I currently have the best WLB ever?

I’d stay at pwc if you have work life balance since that’s hard to get and the big 4 have benefits that other companies don’t have. I’d be timid to jump from a good thing but you do you

Thanks! I really do have a pretty good thing going. I’ve been leaning more towards staying and was thinking I’m haven’t given it enough time.

You have good WLB at big 4? That seems interesting. If there’s any firm/team here that has good WLB I’d love to know.

I have a pretty good WLB (accounting advisory), not government job WLB but definitely unbelievable for a Big 4 position.

8 YOE so you’re a M or SM? Not sure anyone will hire you as a corporate accountant and etc you mentioned.

Ok thanks. I’m realizing I’m using the wrong search title if I want to switch to industry. It needs to be managerial or directorial in scope.

Why would you want to switch from tax compliance manager to GL accountant? They are completely different roles. Go in house for tax structuring if you want interesting and we’ll paid work. Auditors with 2 YOE go for corporate roles.

Thanks! Used the wrong title for a change.

Disney Streaming Services I completed my interview process with DSS early last week, and was reached out by recruiter that all rounds were strong hires, and they are extending an offer.
