I’m in a niche tax/consulting group and a DA as an S2 up for Manager promotion in July. I accepted a SFA position at a smaller private company.

I told my Partner, who I truly believe has my best interest at heart. He said if I want to leave PwC I should stay until Manager, and I will have much better opportunities available.

Do I believe my Partner and stay, or is this all BS?

If you stay till manager you can get better exit ops in TAX it will be extremely hard to get a manger financial analyst position since you have literally no experience in it. TAKE THE POSITION! Your partner probably thinks he’s being helpful but he’s only been in public accounting and doesn’t know the best times to exit if you want to get out of Tax.

Yeah I’m not saying your skills aren’t transferrable but when you get to manager title company’s want to see that you have experience in industry

Ehh. If it’s a job you’re excited about and interested in I would still take it.

What's the bump in pay at the place you accepted?

Let’s pretend pay is irrelevant.
I want to make the best long-term play.

I think you should take it. There’s no point making manager in a niche area you are not excited about.
