How important is title to you considering exit opportunities? Currently manager 2 at EY, but I don’t mind apply for senior title in the industry if it’s better pay and work life balance. Thoughts?

Title jumps in industry are less predictable and more difficult IMO. I wouldn’t settle for anything less than a lateral move (unless it’s tech, which have title deflation).

Everyone is different but I recently left for a manager position as a M2 in April and would’ve been up for SM in July. I thought title wouldn’t bother me for the reasons you mentioned above but it’s slowly starting to bother me. If you know yourself and won’t desire that title or you know there is good promotion potential then I say go for it!

It would bother me tbh, but I think that PA managers often go for senior title when leaving for industry.

I applied for a manager position in private and I was told that they need someone with more years of experiences.

After making it to manager I have zero interest in going back to senior level tasks. Make sure you’re good with the job function you’ll perform

Note this - a senior in industry is the same thing as a staff in PA. Industry titles are degraded compared to PA. Also, keep in mind that manages in industry do all the dirty work that staff and seniors do in PA. This includes clearing the e-file diagnostics on tax returns. Eww! To me, I wouldn’t want to do this type of work at a manager level.

I found using GoFormative’s free version to be very helpful in teaching new topics to my students. I embed videos I make demonstrating how to complete a question, next I ask them to complete an example showing work, and then the next question they type their answer so it automatically alerts them to see if they answered correctly. It can be used live in a meet and on an independent virtual day. In my google meets, I’m able to give feedback on any question they have trouble with in real time.
