Lately I’ve been wondering if I put all my eggs in the wrong basket…. Bachelors in accounting, Masters in accounting, CPA license. Now two years into my career, most days I view my job as tolerable at best. Audit and accounting is not something I feel particularly passionate about, and the idea of doing this for the rest of my life is frankly depressing. Has anyone else experienced this sort of early career “mid-life crisis”? Any guidance or insight would be greatly appreciated.

I just recently joined a company (a month in) and I’m realizing that I may not be a good fit. Should I, at least, give it a chance or start looking for a new role?

I saw some sales managers discussing hiring strategies, especially for entry level roles (e.g. SDR, BDR).

One strategy that came up was having the applicant do 90 minutes of cold calling into real prospects with the hiring manager coaching.

What do you think of this approach? Would be curious to hear from both hiring manager perspectives and from candidate perspectives.

What’s going on FB friends,

I am contemplating a move to industry working at a VC, Tax Director role east coast. Looks like it will be primarily overseeing compliance with some aspect of advising on structures etc. There is another tax reporting head above me.

The potential comp is the low 200k with a 10% bonus (still higher than what I am making). I feel this is pretty low for VC standards but maybe my standards are also too high. I have generally seen 25% bonus with carry.

Any thoughts?
