Debating if I should stick with public accounting or go private. I’ve had bad luck with the last 4 I was at. 2 were generally shitty, 1 I got laid off from and I’m about to be laid off from this one since I’m fairly new. Any recommendations or job leads? Thanks!

Over what period of time have you been at 4 firms? I think you may be finding that habitual jumping doesn’t help career growth and job satisfaction. It’s hard to rebuild a network, and develop trust in others and their trust in you. That takes time. I’d recommend wherever you land next, you set a goal of how long you are going to stick around to give it a chance.

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?
