I left a smaller firm at manager level. It was pretty easy to find jobs in industry and at other regional firms. I negotiated a flat 40 with 45 in busy season and had no trouble. Industry was different, but there’s plenty of opportunities out there.

You’re going to be competing against seniors and assistant controllers. The issue being that you don’t have straight accounting experience and everything learned about managing the business cycle of a PA practice is of limited use in private.

That said, if you can spin your leadership and management experience right then you can find plenty of openings. Especially if you have tax provision and audit experience.

Also if you’re willing to take a salary cut/step down for a period of time it’ll make you much more appealing as a candidate.

I recently interviewed for a position I was excited about. I like my job but this position seemed like a great fit. I met with five different individuals including a partner. Everyone was extremely nice. I received positive signaling and found out almost a week later that I didn’t receive the position. I have absolutely no idea why. Is it typical for companies to make you go through so many different interviews only to reject you?

I spent a year in tax investigations where I believe I was thriving ( I was going to be an assistant manager in July 2023), I had a lot of assistant manager jobs, I even drafted a Code 9 report to HMRC which my manager said was 80% of an actual report, he then added the 20% and submitted it.
After I realised I couldn't maintain all the unpaid overtime I was working I decided to take a turn and go to compliance, so now I work in CT compliance. I feel very surpressed.
