How in the world are you going to be an assistant controller while in PA you are coming in as a staff auditor?
Definitely shortages. I got an interview through a recruiter and they gave me an offer. I was also suprised as I have ~2 yrs experience. But am a highly adaptable and coachable EE.
In your other post on the same subject you mentioned that this was for a moderate sized family owned auto group.
Go with public accounting, the “industry” job may be calling it Assistant Controller but you are going to be a glorified accounting clerk.
Way more experience to be had as an audit associate and 200000x more upwards mobility.
As they title though. You can move up to manager or controller. Not bad
Anything is better than PA!
By “automotive company” do you mean a car dealership? Some of those roles do not provide much upward mobility or transferable skillset regardless of title.
Thank you all for the insight! Very helpful, and a lot to consider.
