Yes. I joined a PE firm and I see endlessly complex technical accounting problems. If you go to a company that is constantly undergoing acquisitions/divestitures and debt/equity raises, then you’ll never be bored and will learn a ton.
Do you feel like you have enough support? One of concerns was if I did leave and see complex technical accounting issues, I don’t have people to collaborate/exchange ideas with.
Challenged, no. Content, yes. CMAAS had me losing sleep due to the lack of work life balance. Left for a small PE-backed company in a technical accounting role. Work ~30ish hours a week now.
