I made a vertical move pay was extremely better than if I took a promotion at Crowe, but I got lucky with multiple offers so I received the max offer from the company I preferred. But best move I made for my career at the time I needed to slow down. But it’s also very boring at times since you are only handling their business needs and not juggling. So if you think you can handle monatamy and not go crazy because it did take me a minute to chill. But oh my gosh not having to track hours and worry about what you are billing has made it worth being bored every few days. No harm in putting out some feelers and interviewing seeing what they offer.
Also not many new opportunities that allow wfh so if you are doing that now be prepared for a hybrid job offer.
I've done this, and all I can say is that you're interviewing the company and your future boss. Make sure it's a good fit for you. You will only have the one person directly over you in industry, unlike PA where you have half a dozen people overseeing you in some way. If you and your next boss jive, it can make your life very cushy. If you clash, it can be a real problem. (Imagine that all your work is for one partner, and their work style is completely different from yours and/or they don't like you.)
When I jumped, my new boss was fantastic. Seven months after I started, he decided to retire early. His replacement was right out of Mean Girls. My dream job turned into a nightmare. It was so bad that I went back to public accounting.
I have done this and went back to public accounting. I was bored. I much prefer the variety of work and dealing with clients that each have their own needs. That being said, I do not have children and am single, so public accounting is easier for me to have a work life balance.
