Hello all, currently a senior in Industry with about 4.5 years of experience split between Big 4 and my current job. Looking to make a move to manager but having to look outside the current company due to to us being such a small department. Do you all have any tips on how to make the jump? Anybody in a similar boat? Thanks!

Yeah I've been there. Left big 4 public for a senior role in industry. Then tried to land my dream job in big tech at a manager level. I ended up getting there, but at a senior level and had to choose my way back up to manager. All worth it in the end but a hell of a journey.

I wrote a playbook called No Flux Given, linked on my profiles and website. It covers the roadmap to do exactly what you're trying to do and deep dives on 15 interviews (Many for manager positions) for some of the most desirable companies in the world. If any of that resonates check out my profiles and website and dm me if you can't find it.

Good luck! ✊🙏

What’s going on FB friends,

I am contemplating a move to industry working at a VC, Tax Director role east coast. Looks like it will be primarily overseeing compliance with some aspect of advising on structures etc. There is another tax reporting head above me.

The potential comp is the low 200k with a 10% bonus (still higher than what I am making). I feel this is pretty low for VC standards but maybe my standards are also too high. I have generally seen 25% bonus with carry.

Any thoughts?
