Is it worth leaving big 4 as a deals senior making 112k for an assistant controller position at a private company ($1-$2billion revenue) paying 140-150k?

Equity?

Path to promotion or other finance / acctg type roles?

And is this an operational controller (budgeting, forecasting, ad hoc analysis) or a bookkeeping controller position?

questions that would run through my head...

Probably not. Deals Manager 1 make in the 140k’s and will have significantly better exit ops if you are willing to get that title before leaving. If you are interested in leaving right away, I would recommend leveraging a recruiter or looking at multiple positions to ensure you are getting the best possible exit opp. There hasn’t a been a better time to leave in years, so if you are going to do it - make sure you are benefiting from the current labor environment.

Hi! I started at a new company 2 months ago and while I’m really enjoying my job so far, I’m having a hard time gauging whether or not I’m doing a “good job.” My role seems to be always evolving, which is fine and I actually enjoy being a support to the greater marketing team, but I feel like I need better defined targets to make sure I’m meeting expectations. Also, when I ask my boss what they’d like to see, I don’t ever get a clear answer. (Cont’d in comments)

Hi All,

I am looking for a new role and would appreciate your help and support.

I have work experience approx 6yrs in fraud investigation, AML, anti bribery, compliance and legal work.

Can anyone please let me know if there is any opportunity to join your organisation.

I’m currently in PA working in tax compliance (PE/Hedge) and considering my options. When I spoke with a recruiter seems like there is not a lot of “interesting” tax opportunities in industry that really stuck out to me. They mentioned potential opportunities for a PE controller role. Has anyone ever tried this? It would be a smaller shop so imagine I’d be doing everything if I was considered. Would I be setting myself up for failure?

Now that I’m here, I’m seeing everything I’ll be doing is with the News team & makes me uncomfortable. No diversity, outdated software & process.
Financially, it’s the best position I been in. But mentally in this environment, it’s depressing & slow. Nothing innovative or engaging. What would you do?

Definitely took the wrong job. I was offered a seriously competitive salary and great benefits to work at a well funded startup, which is great! Turns out the salary and benefits were meant as lowkey bribes to insure I worked at the company without actually doing any work. Every single suggestion I've made has been shut down and I've been ghosted for several meetings with the CEO. What should I do? Just leave?
