Anything is possible but having that SEC audit experience on your resume is very helpful if you want to do reporting at a public company.

100% - the people I know who left PA for financial reporting roles enjoy their jobs the most right now. They still have challenging work, less hours, higher pay, and room for upward with the early exit. I would take that exit if I wasn't trying to stay a little longer for a CFO exit opportunity.

It depends what companies you want to work for. Will be difficult to get a good role in a public company without that experience. But no reason you couldn’t get a good role in a private company similar in size and make up as the companies you audited.

I found a company I was really excited about working at. I applied for the job and went through 5 rounds of interviews. At the end they said I was OVER qualified and they want me for a different position higher up in the company. I was super excited they then had me go through 5 more rounds, 3/5 people were the same. The interviews mostly went "didn't you get the job, I highly recommend you? I'll just put you down as a 10". After those were done they told me I was UNDER qualified. Can't win!
