Does anyone have any insight into accounting roles at Amazon, particularly in the Arlington/DC area? An Amazon recruiter reached out about accounting roles, but the posts in this bowl are about Seattle. Trying to decide if the culture/wlb/pay is even worth looking into since it sounds like the interview process is intense. Base pay seemed pretty low in other posts, but they were a year old and for Seattle.

What level are you? Some things improve the higher you move up (of course other things don’t), so if you’re a senior, maybe you’ll enjoy being a manager more. Also, what type of job would interest you outside of PA? There are certainly good jobs out there with good pay and benefits. As far as the consistent raises, it just depends what you want to do long-term. Accountants can always find a job, so in general, you don’t need to worry about providing for a family. It’s really just a question if you can provide the lifestyle you want for a mid-level management role (no reason you can’t, I wouldn’t think). Certainly wouldn’t recommend staying in PA forever if you don’t enjoy the work (you can fake a lot of things to make partner, but having zero interest or passion for the work/firm isn’t really one of them).
Currently a manager. I'm not sure I have a good idea of something else I would like but I feel best when I can tangibly see progress (crossing off to do's). I feel best when I am in the counselor role and coaching/helping other professionals but I just don't like IT controls or audit, seems like a lot of effort for very little impact/value
I'm in the same boat. Don't beat yourself up. You can typically leave for industry for a raise, better benefits, and better hours. What are you concerned about?
Feel the same, my student loans keep me locked into this job. All of the industry jobs would be a paycut
Go go industry do side business
Just go to tech better wlb, better benefits, nicer people, less politics, you get equity, similar base pay and bonus. If you’re lucky free food, gym, and clothing lol
