I have 4 years tax experience but I want to jump to industry doing General Ledger, reporting and journal entries, the other side of compliance. Do you think I should go with senior accountant role or start as staff accountant because I’m so afraid that I’ll be behind…

As a former SA, the company usually hires people with audit background or pure accounting background. Also, GL accounting is boring as hell. Without big 4 audit experience, there is not much room to move up. I would stay in tax and go to industry. Industry tax does a lot of accounting work. So you will be a good fit.

Thank you! My friend suggested looking for senior tax analyst role as well. So this will be where my target is now!

How do you deal with an HR that ghosts you after 3 interviews that went really well? I landed an offer at Deloitte as a sr. consultant, and then negotiated for a managerial role.

I tried following up thrice after, no response.
