I found out this week that I’m getting promoted to tax manager this fall. I had applied for a senior FP&A role at an insurance industry and now they asked me to the final round of interviews. Really my only reason for leaving is pay and wanting more consistent hours, but I worry industry will leave me wanting more money. What are your thoughts on this situation? Currently at a mid-tier firm.

Thanks for the response! The funny thing here is I don’t necessarily like being in the weeds. I want to be managing people, recruiting, training, doing business development, etc. Seems kind of like this may be a good fit for me.

If the effective date of the promotion is in the next couple months, then stick around. You can leave shortly after, but the promotion to manager will be a safety net for your resume if you end up hating the next job. Otherwise, you’ll be required to keep Sr. Acct on the resume. Also, consider the pay raise at the current firm and that (i assume) you’ll now be bonus eligible.

Hi all!
Would love some insight on how you went from an HR assistant/coordinator to an HR Generalist. I’ve been in the HR world for 8 years, and only in the last 2-3 have I really done real HR work. The first company I was at didn’t have a solid HR team so I don’t really count that. I feel like I’m ready to take on more responsibility and learn more. And of course make more money.
