Depends what you want.

It will be hard to jump to industry manager spots, as they generally look for at least 1 year of experience actually being a manager, but its not impossible. The other difficulty is that you'll probably be making a higher salary than most places will pay you. So you may have to take a pay cut or move for no bump in base.

Industry routinely hires heavy B4 seniors without the manager promotion as accounting managers.

Pretty sure they’ll hire a B4 manager as a manager.

Just leave now

Start applying and leave when you get an offer with at least a 30% raise. Wouldn’t worry as much about title unless you have a big ego. Know some senior analysts that have teams under them and also some “managers” that do all the bitch work in industry
