I have a CPA and am currently working at a Big 4 in a project management consulting role rather than technical accounting. I’ve been in this role for 3 years now but would like to get back into a more technical role. Looking at exit ops it feels like I’d be qualified for senior accountant roles in industry based on prior audit experience but it’d likely be a 40-50% pay cut. Anyone made a rebound from a different type of role or have industry experience that may help inform my next move?

I went to a senior associate role but it was a 30K pay bump. You just have to be upfront with recruiters the salary that you are looking for. But realistically, you could probably take a manager role in industry.

Feel like I am potentially on the verge of developing tendonitis / carpal tunnel. I try to keep my (standing) desk ergonomically aligned but the reality is that I spend 8-14 hrs a day typing (and, probably, tense) and I’m concerned about rendering myself physically unable to do this job. Anyone dealt with this?

Advice & resources? My spouse and I are starting to make good money (ages 28 & 31, $105k & $70k) with $10k in savings (we were hit hard financially this year) and 2 car payments.

We live in a cheap apartment ($1.3k) that is sh*tty. Don’t quite have a down payment (especially not in ATX). Is it dumb to rent a house for a year at $3k/month while we save up again?

We both didn’t come from $ and are figuring out how to not be idiots 🙃 tbh we would prefer to rent forever but that feels dumb???
