I’m currently a Senior Manager who is unhappy at Uber. The culture here the last 2 years have been the worst I ever experienced.

Total Comp is $148K base plus 50K stocks

I got offered a role at a leading Ai Company for a Senior Accountant at $290K plus 60K in RSUs.

It’s 2 levels down, but the opportunity to move up in such a fast growing company is tempting.

Should I do it?

Can you ask them to update the title?

Wow that much for a Sr Accountant almost seems too good to be true. If through the interview process you feel that the company is stable, you like the team, you know the type of work you're in for and how busy it will get and you see yourself staying long enough to rise through the ranks, I would definitely take the offer.

As a Sr Manager working as a Sr Accountant you should be able to prove yourself and hopefully land yourself a promotion in the future. But I'm sure that since the company is hiring for that role, be comfortable with that title. If the title doesn't bother you that much, you should go for it. With that kind of comp I would take up that offer in a heartbeat! All the best!

One other thought is if you can get a Director level position at any other company with similar comp then definitely consider that too!!

I dont think it will be harder for you to get back into to a SM role. The points you mentioned above have merit which you can mention if you were to change jobs for a SM role...its a growing company that is going through sig growth and they are hiring a very experienced team as evidenced by the type of comp being offered. It really shows the level and quality of the person the company is looking for. I therefore think in reality it's higher level role based on the above so I'm pretty sure you can talk your way back into an SM role if you later decide to change jobs. I say go for it!

If I were in your shoes, I would do it. That comp increase is really significant. I wouldn’t get hung up on the title thing. You will likely be able to move up there and, personally, I wouldn’t care if I was making that much as a senior accountant.

Compared to my prior firm’s compensation, you would be making more than associates, senior associates, managers, senior managers, directors, and some partners. Think about that.

Why not? At the min, you can use the new job to ahead financially. If you don’t like it in a couple of years, you can come back to Public accounting
