If you're in a specialty role. I think the best time to leave is at senior. If you're in something like tax technology, you can jump to be a manager in industry and grow from there. Once you're at manager and above in PA the exit opportunity really decrease in specialty roles. But that's just my random thoughts on a Sunday morning. What do y'all think?

Depends on how specialized you are. For my international tax planning role it was pretty critical I stayed til manager to be experienced enough - if I was in a more general role or compliance focused role it would’ve been fine

Agree. I did a combo of M&A and international planning. Left early in the SM years and that was the perfect time. It’s really hard in those areas to leave public before M because who is going to want that person?

Depends I’m in specialist tax and make more than my peers in industry. Sometimes the niche groups pay a lot to make it worthwhile.

Hello! I see a ton of questions in here about interviewing and getting hired as a PM. I also know that it’s really hard as a manager to hire a great team. I’m the head of product at a growing startup, and just hired two PMs in 3 months. One a career switcher who’d never been a PM before, and one a seasoned principal PM. Whether you are someone who’s interviewing or someone who’s hiring right now, ask me anything!

Any googlers that can offer a perspective? Cleared all interviews for TPM. No HC review yet, as the recruiter says the new process is to find a match before HC.

I am told that there were internal candidates that fit the role better. The wait on since May, starting to lose hope now. Is team matching supposed to be this hard?
