It seems a lot of people in public say they want to stay until they make manager. What is the conventional wisdom on this? Are the exit opps really that much better once you’re a manager?

There have been a lot of studies that leaving as a second year senior gives you the most opportunities because manager at an accounting firm doesn’t translate as well into industry, your technical will be developed enough and you’re still early enough in your career to get plugged into learning/diverse experiences in industry

My personal opinion is that the staying until manager is just part of the kool aid.

I stayed until manager and am glad I did. Much better exit ops for me and I learned so much more in that time with the different exposure you get. It’s a general rule of thumb that I believe to be true but there are always exceptions

Ya I think another difference is when ur a manager, ppl actually listen to what you find in research and guidance while as a senior everyone is skeptical of it and may not even listen to what u have to say
