I’m having daily mental breakdowns every time I look at how much stuff I have to do. Is it time to get out? How long did it take to go to industry for a senior tax position for you in a pandemic? How to have references if everyone I’m working under would then figure out I’m trying to leave? Is it better on the other side?

I’ve been to industry and it is way better in terms of hours and no BS with time entry, budgets and all other crap. Not so great with money though, annual raises are 1%-4% max, but the bonus helps out. So, it’s either money but you kill yourself in PA or you work 40 hours with a stagnant salary. Choice is yours.

I agree with Accounting Manager 1. Get out now! You have highly sought-after talent and experience. Why not go someplace where you will be valued? I’m only a 2nd year associate but starting applying for jobs and landed one in about in 2 weeks. I get a raise, 8% match in a 403b and 40-45 hour weeks.

For references i used supervisors that have transferred lines of service or have left the firm so they had no bias.

If you've only been out of college a year or two use professors and tell them you do not want to provide references from your current employer because you're not certain you are leaving

Job market is not good, so it would take a while to get a job in industry. All my friends at big firms are looking to exit. I got lucky. I applied a few jobs, and got an offer. But it still took about 2 months just going through the process. If your mental health becomes an issue, consider taking a leave of absence and looking for a new job. All the best.

Ex-consultant now in marketing. Used to be an avid follower here and got great insights on companies when trying to exit consulting so thought I’d try here for advice. Outside of FAANG, what are good large CA-based tech companies that provide good pay, WLB, and culture? DD has great people and WLB, but pay is low and you’re not given the tools and resources to succeed + truly make an impact. Google and Apple are ideal but need backups. Like is Salesforce still good? A company along those lines.
