I'm a CPA with 4 years of Big 4 experience in internal audit and ESG. I want to transition to a more sustainability/climate change related role and prefer to be out of consulting. What types of exit opps are best?

Going to be honest with you, pickings are fairly slim in industry on the IA side due to it being niche. It would be even harder to focus on ESG

In consulting so help client IA's with where they are at. Most familiar with CSRD, ISSB, SEC Proposal, and then specific frameworks like TCFD, GRI, etc.

AWS vs Cloudflare BDR roles

AWS lowballed but I negotiated to match Cloudflare. Cloudflare offers more equity but AWS has a higher base.

I love Cloudflare. The people are great but it’s an engineering culture and the sales team isn’t as well shaped up and I can’t go for a promotion until at least 18 months of tenure. I am an investor in the company and think of them super highly. I’ve already got half a years SDR experience and AWS promotes quicker.

AWS has prestige but is it worth it?

Is this a lot for an interview?

I’m a little afraid of doing all this work to then just have them take my ideas and not hire me.

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?

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.)
