My personal preference would be Director of Finance, then Corporate Controller, then Director of Accounting and SEC Reporting. This is mostly because I don't want to be branded as a pure accountant person, but rather a mix of accounting/finance.

Can you do VP/Corporate Controller?

J&J or Google? I’m in final stages and expecting an offer on both ends. TC seems about the same but J&J is based in Skillman, NJ whereas Google is in Austin, TX. Non tech roles in the same domain - Main difference is that J&J seems to be a higher level role (senior manager) whereas Google is a more junior one (lead). Any advice?
