No way. Public accounting underpays as is. You should not be taking less when moving to industry

Nope.

No. You should easily be able to find a job that matches.

Are they offering you $4k less than your current salary? Of course don’t take it!

Nope. I’m a staff and got a 30% increase in salary when I moved to industry. You can find something more

Absolutely not. If they are too cheap to match $4k... imagine what your raises will look like.

The issue is that OP is tax and is applying for accounting roles. That’s why it’s less. I know someone who switched over to audit because there are more exit opportunities it seems. Stick it out for now— take personal days if you need to, talk to your counselor, do what you have to do so that you don’t shoot yourself in the foot bc you’re currently burned out

The hours might a little shorter? But one of the seniors told me that it's good I'm used to long hours.... I think that gives it.

Yea it's less than my salary for an entry level accounting. I'm coming from senior tax

And here I am thinking 4k less isn't that bad for a step down. A lot of staff industry position maximums were 10k less than what I was making as a senior 1
