I applied and interviewed at 8 different places and was fortunate to receive offers from all 8. A few gigs disqualified themselves because I did not vibe with the interviewers. Ultimately went with a place where I vibed with the people and weren't set in the paper age with regards to the way they do business.

I came out of PwC and having that on my resume opened a lot of doors for me.

Also, I think there is more competition at the associate and senior level than at the mamager level. Folks tend to leave the industry or the workforce in general before making manager, so there are probably fewer managers floating out in the ether than you imagine.

The advice that people should try and gut it out in public accounting isn't false.

Applied for about two months ended up with 8 offers and just accepted my perfect place. I’m a manager as well. DM me :)

Red bell peppers are roasted in the oven until sweet. It is then blended with caramelized onions, garlic, red pepper flakes, sun dried tomato paste, and cream into a silky, smooth and velvety sauce. Finish the sauce with a knob of butter and coat your pasta. Cavatappi works well here. Don’t forget to shave a little Pecorino Romano

Additional Posts in Accounting Exit Opportunities

Working a job right now for about $150-160K TC, but it’s accounting software sales and has heavy ambiguity in terms of upward mobility (and rarely raises)

Is it crazy to want to go to industry or back to PA for career progression? I’m assuming it would be a major pay cut with 3.5 YOE - maybe scrape $100K TC if I’m lucky?

might be getting ahead of myself here, but in case I get an offer somewhere soon, is it customary to tell your PML/ other colleagues where you’re going next?
