Hi! I don’t want to work doing GL accounting anymore. I’ve tried PA — wasn’t a good fit, so now I’m feeling kinda stuck. I’m starting to look at other jobs and I was wondering —am I the only one feeling stuck?

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?
