Need exit opportunity advice:

I am a senior in EY FAAS (CPA).

I have the opportunity to move into a hedge fund (~70 people). I’d be a middle office analyst which includes multiple functions including accounting, operations, and trade/derivative support.

I am not interested in a traditional accounting role which is why this role interests me. I’d get exposure to multiple functions and get to wear multiple hats.

Continued below.

Do it. Life is too short to stay at a job you do not find interesting. If the pay and benefits are comparable to one another, I'd say go for it.

You can always go from in house back to public, and you will have a unique skill set if you come back.

If the fund really takes off more, you are well positioned. A fund like this is established but has room to grow. You will grow professionally (and hopefully monetarily) with it too.

However, I am worried about leaving for a smaller firm and limiting my growth potential. Overall I’m worried about leaving for the wrong opportunity. From what I’ve heard leaving for a hedge fund is typically a good place to be from a growth perspective, any thoughts on this?

I need the advice from someone more experienced than me. What are some of the things I should consider being making this jump?

When I moved in-house a year ago as a BigLaw mid-level, I took a 45% pay cut, far more than I was comfortable with (although I was fine with a 20-30% cut). I took the job because it was a great role and I was focused on making the jump in house and developing the skills I wanted, which required me moving away from my firm practice area. Now that my year-end review is coming up, how do I ask my company for a significant pay raise (not just a 2-5% inflation-matching raise)?
