Exit op for a big 4 tax senior who doesn’t want to work over 40hrs

Been in PA for almost 5 years. Big 4 for 6 months now (local firm 4 years and top 100 firm for 8 months before jumping to big 4) and about to start taking CPA exams. I am certain I don’t want to stay in PA long term. What advice can you give me for what to do next?

Wish list:
-Work life balance. Don’t want to work over 40/45hrs. (Most important) Ability to take pto when I choose
-100k+ (realistic?)
-Remote. Or hybrid (SoCal)

Hiii! Just had my final interview and only got to ask one question because it was times up. Was hoping to use that time to show my excitement for the role and company. We used up the time discussing my role and him connecting it to role im applying for. At the end I only got to ask about company culture and quick goodbye. Last words were "i'll reach out ,recruiters name, for next steps"

Good thing bad thing?

Hi Fam,

Looking at leaving audit, for a financial analyst and small Corp Dec roles for small corps.

A few of the roles ask for financial modelling, but I'm unsure if it is DCF (per my old finance classes) and need IB level type work or just quick and easy excel modelling for sensitivity/variances from different parameter changes.

Seems like a vague term.

Would love to get some insight on people who perform financial modelling in their work and had it in their position description.

Thanks
