I am up for manager promo this year and I know my long term goal is not to make partner. When do you think the best time is to leave public accounting before/after I make manager? I have had a few interviews for manager roles in industry for higher comp but not sure if it would pay off waiting it out more.

People coming from public accounting get very focused on roles, jump off point, titles etc. (I did too). Generally the best time is to leave as a senior or manager.

Don't focus on timelines, level of seniority, etc. Focus on the right role at a good company with good progression and learning opportunities.

Saying all that, it looks good for future opportunities that you were promoted to a manager level. But it's not about the leap off point being higher. Your next role should only be about setting yourself up for success for the future. If you find a really good role before you make manager, you should still take it.

As soon as possible. Experienced senior / manager is the best timing

Honestly, any time is a good time. Perhaps get a year as manager under your belt, then go

Even if I invest time in learning Java I can be at a beginner level.

Any idea how can I get this escalated so that the recruiter ( Accenture employee) should at least be careful in future before fooling a noob like me?
