Do you think earning potential decreases by quite a bit if you exit to industry as a senior?

I think the biggest thing that could potentially hold you back is in PA there is a lot of turnover so it is a pretty clear path to senior manager/ director. In industry depending on the size of your department people may not leave and create opportunities for upward mobility. This isn’t always the case but does happen to where your career path to manager isn’t as defined.

Senior what?

No I'm a first year senior

No

It really all depends on you. Going to have to be willing to jump for progression if you stall out

It depends on where you go, I left to industry as an S1 then bounced back to B4 in an advisory role a year or so later and was making over double what I was an audit S1.

I think B4 public accounting mitigates risk and reward, it raises people who are average to above and drags down amazing people to above average. Very broadly speaking.

Have an offer from a dream company but I'll need to go in at a lower level.

If I hit all my goals (ie, prove myself) within that time frame, I'll get a promotion and salary adjustment.
QUESTIONS:
Should this be in writing in the offer letter?
How detailed should it be? I assume I won't know what goals to set till I start...
