Exit big four as a manager to industry as a senior accountant. The company itself is in a niche market with a lot of potential. Is it a bad move for my career?

You're probably selling yourself short. Unless you're entering a top tech company (where you'll often take a step down in title but still get a salary bump), you should be able to do better.

It depends. I left PwC as a senior associate and interviewed for manager positions and senior associate positions and ultimately chose the senior associate position because it was the same pay but with less responsibility and more flexibility.

How did you find this role? Looking for something similar

Me personally I would not because now being in industry I’ve realized it’s much harder to get promoted so I’d rather leave at a level I’m ok being at for a few years. However, if you think you’d be ok in terms of meeting your career goals, then why not?

It only took me 7 years to figure this system out.... posting in case it helps anyone else! I color coded my classes and printed off numbers according to the number of kids in my classes. I then assign each kid a number that corresponds with my gradebook. When they turn in their projects, they put their number with it. This way, no contact and I can easily see who has and hasn't turned in their projects yet. I take the list down once they remember their number.
