I’m a second year tax manager in B4 and getting tired of the hours. With no pay increases coming anytime soon, I’m starting to think about jumping to industry to try it out. Would I be smarter to do another year+ to get to Senior Manager, then look to leave? What more would that get me in terms of title/comp?

Manager is better time to leave than SM. Once you hit SM you will be
1. Overpriced for roles below SM/director level as PA starts to accelerate pay above industry by then (in my exp).. although if no increases for a couple of years maybe it won’t be an issue for you
2. At director or SM level I’ve seen a lot of companies want a mix of industry and PA so you’ll be at a disadvantage against others applying for the role
3. You’ll have wasted more years of your life working miserable hours in PA by waiting

What are you looking for when you jump? Salary? Work life balance? There’s so many reason. Chances are if you want less hours you will have to sacrifice in salary and vice versa.

I have the same question as a manager. Should I stay and try to make Sm first?

Helo everyone,

I have put down the papers from infosys and my LWD is near . I have to choose between DXC with 22 LPA and TCS with 18 LPA . I am a mainframe developer with 11 years of experience.
I have asked TCS to revise the salary but that seems unlikely that they will match the difference.
