I am corporate tax manager and planning to leave for an industry job, same title. I have been in PA for about 10 years and live in medium cost of living area. How much should I ask for pay and how much should be the sign on bonus? Anyone who left recently for a manager or senior manager position would mind to share the details? Thanks

Forget to mention (not sure if it matters) that I have masters degree in accounting and I am licensed CPA.

Is MCOL like Chicago or more like Cleveland/ Columbus?

I would say 130-140K? That’s high band manager pay in B4 for low/MCOL

Given the current economy and market, it might be a hard sell for a sign on bonus. I’d try for $5-$10K but know that you may get push back.

That is fine, basically at a time like

Are private companies easier to work at than public companies in accounting? We have such an accelerated close deadline at the publicly traded company I’m at now, I really hate the inflexible tight deadlines and analysis seems to drag on forever after that. We also close AP/AR very early in the month yet that doesn’t stop payments/receipts from happening so we’re constantly adjusting our accruals until the end of month. Do private companies start their close after the month actually ends?
