Currently revenue accounting manager at SaaS company, just received an offer for Sr. Revenue Financial Analyst role at a large startup. Does anyone have experience going from accounting to finance and have any insights on what to consider besides compensation? The comp is comparable but startup RSUs definitely have much more potential than my current equity. Thanks in advance!

The main consideration for you is whether you want to get out of accounting career-wise and also whether the role of “sr revenue financial analyst” is actually finance or a hybrid / pseudo-accounting role. A lot of companies like to blur the line in terms of titles here.

Also in this economic environment I would not bank on the start up equity to give you a lot of upside. A lot of pre-IPOs have been getting high valuations because of user growth but investors are now focused on profitability which many start ups are weak on.

To add on: I guess my concern is do I give up this career path that I’ve done pretty well in with fairly more job security for something a step down but in finance?

Hi Everyone,

Need your valuable insights. Having an YOE of 11 years and offered TechLead position with a CTC of 30 LPA (28.5 LPA Fixed) a month ago.

Though their WLB and culture seems good, I kept feeling that I am being lowballed which pushed me to give further interviews.

Received another offer for same role from another PBC for 35LPA (33 Fixed). Is it OK to ask the first company to revise the CTC (up to their best) where the DOJ is in 10 days?
