Yea, you don't.

After 3 years of dealing with the worst firm I've ever had the displeasure of working for, I finally landed my dream gig at a small specialty firm. The people at the new firm are all SMEs featured in and contributors to the most notable business publications in the world, less than 100 employees, better benefits, unlimimted PTO, doubled my pay and landed a senior role.

Keep looking for what you want and deserve. I'm happy to be forging a better path away from what I've had to endure.

I want to use these TAS roles to move into more M&A advisory roles like IB/Corp Dev. PwC comp is a decent amount higher due to the $10k salary increase so it makes the decision a bit harder. Would CMAAS make it impossible to make the jump to IB-type roles due to how much technical accounting is involved?
