I have 4 yrs of audit experience and have my CPA license. Up for manager promotion this year but I’ve lost motivation to stay in PA. Wondering if I should stick around until manager promo. Are opportunities better for newly promoted manager or same as an experienced senior?

I’m in tax, but I left three months before my promotion to manager for an industry role. I left because of my mental health primarily. It was the right decision for me because I found an amazing role with flexibility, higher pay with better benefits, and significantly less workload/pressure. I now am happier to work late nights, even though infrequent, and enjoy it.

Having a manager title on your resume might get you a better chance of getting an interview for a higher position. However, at the end of the day, whether or not you get hired is based on the experience you’ve gained. In reality, getting promoted to a manager and quitting a month later is not likely you afford you better opportunities.

if you're getting it this year, probably better to get the title. depends where you plan on jumping tbh. i had an offer for an industry asst controller role from senior in public. i've seen people move to manager/controller at smaller companies in industry from senior as well. if you want f500, the manager title will def benefit you.

Hello,
Can we get promotion after the mid year review in CitiusTech?
Or the promotion for the mid year already done?
I see for many people the designation has changed but for me it's not. I was under the impression that the promotion happens after the mid year discussion or after the year end discussion.
Can someone please tell the details and when we can expect the new revised letter mentioning the new designation.

I’m not naive or fresh out of law school, but I’m at a point where I’m saying to myself “Why can’t I have it all?” I’ve been offered a job for more pay and less hours and I keep thinking to myself, what’s the catch? I know people will say no promotion potential or that’s not how it works…but what if it could? What if you make yourself valuable by still setting your boundaries? Why would we resent someone who has that opportunity?

Hi all. I am trying to determine if I am being compensated fairly. I am a tax manager (about to start my second year as manager) and have been with EY since staff 1.

I really wanted to stay here so I said okay to current. Then now hr called me and said they are matching the offer(no vp). What should I make out of it? What made them change their mind?
