I work as a Senior Accounting Supervisor for a 1.5 billion co making 120k. I have 6 years of experience at Big 4 (3 audit 1 FDD) and 1.5 at Siegfried. I have been there for 3 months but quickly realized I am underemployed and underpaid. I just recently got a job offer as an assistant controller making 170k plus 12.5% bonus but the company is only $150 million in revenue and going to be acquired in 12-24 months. They like my transaction background to help. Is this a good move?

UPDATE (RE: SoCal Assistant Controller Interview)

So after two weeks of waiting (and giving up on the idea of getting the job really), the recruiter got back to me.

They said due to month-end and quarter-end close they were busy and couldn’t get back to me as quickly for a “good update”.

The recruiter said the CFO enjoyed our call, she, the CFO, will call me next week directly to “discuss some final things”.

Not sure if Im hired or not, but are there any questions about the job, comp (cont.)

Should you discuss salary range with an internal company recruiter prior to setting up an interview? With external recruiters it’s pretty easy to talk about the expected range.
