I started a position a month and a half ago at a large holding company. My manager left after 2 weeks of training me, and his replacement is likely going to be another senior accountant. I am so lost and don’t have the guidance I had signed up for. Is it bad to ask for an internal transfer to one of the brands instead?

Lacking guidance can feel really uncomfortable; but, I don’t know that my staff felt all that awesome in their first 6 weeks even with me being available. What are some other options for getting that knowledge? What role are you doing in the accounting cycle?

I’m not sure what you mean by streamline coaching. What I’m imagining, I’ve never experienced. What I did experience was a piecing it together from prior period work papers, source documents, accounting knowledge, google, and asking specific questions to those that can help. Growth - in the how to check it off the task list - is slower BUT you learn the bigger picture, find other info that will help later, problem solve, and get comfortable with being uncomfortable. Those are real skills needed to grow in the accounting field.

What’s going on FB friends,

I am contemplating a move to industry working at a VC, Tax Director role east coast. Looks like it will be primarily overseeing compliance with some aspect of advising on structures etc. There is another tax reporting head above me.

The potential comp is the low 200k with a 10% bonus (still higher than what I am making). I feel this is pretty low for VC standards but maybe my standards are also too high. I have generally seen 25% bonus with carry.

Any thoughts?
