No, the recruiter is looking for a quick buck, and you need to be patient to make sure you don't step into a dead end role. Very few dead end roles in public, but they are common in industry from my experience.
As a first year manager I would have expected you to know your worth better. There are PA managers leaving for director/controller level positions. Now I understand the titles are more fluid in industry but staff accountant with a pay decrease is not where you are in your career.
Doordash driver makes more than staff accountant
This may be the only role this particular recruiter has. You can work with others. Just be upfront and decline if this isn’t of interest.
That recruiter is so lucky they didn’t come at me with this BS offer, cus Unlike you I would’ve used some choice words and told him to put certain body parts in certain places. Manager to staff is a joke. Self respect my dude
Work with another recruiter!! Recruiters are extra desperate right now bc a lot of companies aren’t using recruiters to hire due to costs. My manager left for a controller position after 6 months of being promoted to manager. You can do better!
You sound desperate. Desperate is a horrible way to live life, and a horrible way to look for a job.
Get in your mind that you will be in your current role in PA for at least 6 months, and learn to get comfortable with that thought. You could find a job in less than 6 months. It may very well take 6 months to get a job that you will love and thrive.
Be able to clearly articulate what you have done in your career, what skills you have gained, and how you will use those skills to succeed in you next role.
Write out all your accomplishments. Make sure you are able to articulate them as a business problem, how you thought through and developed a plan, how you executed on the plan, and the result you created. These should include thing like: tackling a complex project, on boarding a staff, helping an underperforming staff, an auditee that disagreed with you, and hitting tight deadline. If you have those, and maybe a couple more you can ace any interview. It is all about your ability to tell others what you have done and allow them to envision what you can do for them.
Don’t go to any interviews until you have the above nailed. If you are prepared you can be confident and confidence gets jobs.
Once this is all done you can start a job search. Network. Network more. Use recruiters, but also apply directly. Some companies (sometimes highly desirable companies) don’t use recruiters, as they don’t have to.
When you get an interview, research the company and write out questions. Make sure interviewees know you researched the company and let them see that you have specific tailored questions. After an interview send thank you emails that specifically reference things discussed in an interview.
They say looking for a job, is a job. They mean it.

Staff accountant is the best
Recruiters rlly do not hv your interest in mind. They just want to fill roles and get their commission. Sometimes your interest may align so use them to your advantage.
I left ey for a ~30% bump and i think most get a raise when they leave. You shouldnt take a paycut
Why is this even a question
You need to discontinue with this recruiter immediately. There are more [recruiter] fish in the sea.
I found out the hard way that recruiters can’t be trusted. I suggest working with several recruiters.
This was my first time working with recruiters but I found that they are trying to place you anywhere for a quick buck. I have a ton of stories that I can share.
Recruiters has not been truthful about the reputation of companies and what’s really going on. I found out by asking numerous questions both formally and informally. Luckily, I always research the company that I’m interviewing for on my own.
One recruiter was telling the company the total opposite of what I was saying. I found out because HR called to clarify some details for my offer.
Not sure how you made it to be the manager at PwC if you are asking this question. You should know yourself better than a recruiter.
😂
Yeah..., that's a hard no.
Don’t leave for that. He’s hustling you. Be patient. Invest in your skills until right opportunity comes
That’s a definite no. Though I think it would be best for you to take a mini vacation even just for few days to take your edge off or consider seeing a therapist regarding your stress level. Also sounds like you have imposter syndrome
Work with several recruiters. Always.
