I got offered a position as a senior manager with a small local accounting firm. The pay will be $30k more than what I am making now. I will be leading the for-profit tax team (2-3 people). Right now, I am a manager at a small firm that recently merged with another firm. The managing partner at the offering firm is looking to retire at the end of the year and eventually wants to be bought out. Is this the move?

Nobody knows. Small firms are hit or miss. Some are awesome, some are awful.

I agree with Director 1. That is a decision only you can make and you really won't know until you get there whether or not it was the move. You kind of have to be willing to take the risk.

Hello! I see a ton of questions in here about interviewing and getting hired as a PM. I also know that it’s really hard as a manager to hire a great team. I’m the head of product at a growing startup, and just hired two PMs in 3 months. One a career switcher who’d never been a PM before, and one a seasoned principal PM. Whether you are someone who’s interviewing or someone who’s hiring right now, ask me anything!
