Has anyone moved from industry accounting to big 4? I am in a rotational program and have decided I want to leave within a year. Would I be starting from scratch if I came in with a CPA and a masters?

Yeah most likely

You can move but you may start as a staff 1 more than likely so you may take a pay hit.

Yes I did, I was a senior in industry (with MBA and CPA) came in as senior 1 to B4 in March, they progressed me to S2 by July. I got a pay bump transferring actually lol now I’m a manager

After spending 4 years as a mid-level ops manager, I tried to break into HR through talent acquisition. Now after 6 years in TA, I've had a hard time getting out of it. My goal was always to get into a more broad HRBP position, but I've since worked for smaller orgs without a solid HR career path. When I ask about my career goals, they keep telling me, "Soon!" Or "Maybe in 6 months!"

I'm testing SPHR in June. Any advice for securing the type of role I'm aiming for?

First time visiting this city so it’d be great to take in some sights too (although that’s not a priority of course).

One of my senior managers is a boomerang and told me she was laid off when she was 7 months pregnant about 10 years ago. I think she was a senior or manager. She was in a specific group and everybody was laid off. It wasn’t performance based.

Which offer should I accept? Currently staff 2 at big 4 in Tax with CPA license. I want to leave tax ASAP. Both are public companies +1B in revenue and same salary. Offer 1 - staff revenue accountant so reading contracts, speaking with the sales team and legal team, a lot of work at the end of the months to close books and reconcile transactions to make sure we are ASC 606 compliant. This track usually leads to director of revenue. Offer 2 - internal audit staff so SOX and compliance projects.
