From a staff perspective - What’s the vibe like at a PE backed firm vs the traditional PA model? I have no aspiration to be a partner. I just want to vibe and my attempts to find a chill industry job that isn’t 3 days/office isn’t going well so I found a PE backed firm that’s less charge hours and promises WLB (lol)

I agree as well having worked for a PE back to portfolio company and now BDO. No WLB in accounting & finance unless it is a well staffed tax department at a large corporation.

Flexible work arrangement. Even if you're on a FWA you have to be very clear what your boundaries are or you'll work more than what you're paid for.

Got hired 3 years ago- newly created staff accountant role with the plan that it’ll go into a senior and then manager role. 1.5 years in I get a title promotion to senior, told I’ll get more duties, start supervising AP, and get monetary promotion to match next year. Got way more work, but nothing else promised within that year. Told next money bump would be manager role (no raise for senior still) and I need to take on more and start supervising AP. Again, seeing nothing…time to leave?
