If I want to exit public accounting (asset management group) to private (hedge fund/PE fund), is the best time to exit as a senior or a manager? If manager, what else can I do now to make myself more competitive? Take a CFA exam?

If you get the CFA and work in an accounting department it’s a waste of a CFA.

Would you suggest exit when I am a senior (probably need to take a pay cut) or when I make it manager?

Are you looking to join the front office of those places or the accounting department?

The accounting department.
