Did public for 2 years, now in corporate. Pay and hours are wayy better. But the trade off for me is the work is boring as shit. Also very little room to progress unless you change companies.
I actually found audit work to be interesting. If you can get past the annoying detail work, it is one of the best ways to learn how the financial statements are put together. Highly important skill to have because that is your true end product as an accountant. And you get to see the whole company. Which is great. If you end up in fortune 500 corporate accounting you work on a very small portion of the company. So it's boring
I've considered going back to public but I would probably do accounting advisory if I did
Highly dependent on the industry position and company. I boomeranged after a horrible industry experience, but then I learned what to look out for and now I love my industry job and can’t imagine ever going into public unless forced to do company sale or massive leadership change. I would still try to find another industry position before resorting back to PA.
Also avoid fund accounting and real estate industry jobs. Not a lot of career growth in those unless you are ok with coasting
