I got an offer for a Senior Accountant (operational) role that matches my currently salary. I’ve been in tax (big 4 and industry) the past 6 years and am looking to get out of tax and try to pivot into an accounting or finance role but have struggled in this job market. Anyone have any thoughts? On the job pivot or offer?

Why not get a tax job that has some accounting as well and shoot for a salary raise? Industry jobs often won't come with big annual raises so you're locked in with what you're making now.

I’ve been struggling to find jobs in general in this market, I really dislike my current job, and have been telling myself I’d leave my current job for over a year. I did get an offer earlier in the year for a role that was specifically for tax provision/accounting that I somewhat regret not taking but it would’ve been an hour long commute to the office and would’ve been a small paycut even after negotiating, so it didn’t make sense to me at the time.

Take it if you really want to get out of tax
