Senior is staff at a lot of firms. However, I’ve found it depends on the team/ the senior and resources on how you go about your day to day. Fundamentally you are staff, you are a senior staff even as a manager a senior manager is still a manager.

I LOVED being a senior! I’m now a manager and my years as a staff were probably the most challenging years of my career.

I do miss me some ticking and tying some days.

This is my first job in a large corporate company, and I’m trying to gauge how long it normally takes to move from entry level to another internal position in the insurance industry. I have been applying internally for a year now and I am wondering if this is normal or if my company is just slow? I am a top performer, with great metrics, and I have some wonderful connections I’ve made who support me. I just can’t seem to move up. How long did it take you to move up? How many tries did it take?

What's Your Take?:

Asking creatives to work on a project with lots of award potential but minimal budget/billable time allocations. So the majority of the work would be done on personal time.

Advice needed: looking to leave public accounting and tax for good. I have two offers between a financial analyst and an accountant role.

The bigger pay as an analyst is tempting, but the company benefits are meh.

Which offer should I accept? Currently staff 2 at big 4 in Tax with CPA license. I want to leave tax ASAP. Both are public companies +1B in revenue and same salary. Offer 1 - staff revenue accountant so reading contracts, speaking with the sales team and legal team, a lot of work at the end of the months to close books and reconcile transactions to make sure we are ASC 606 compliant. This track usually leads to director of revenue. Offer 2 - internal audit staff so SOX and compliance projects.
