Left B4 audit at manager for a controller role. The industry grind and smaller company is draining me and feel like I’m losing some of the professional aspect that I liked at B4. Thinking about trying to jump back into an advisory/consulting role but also long term want to try to maximize my earnings. Any thoughts or suggestions?

I finished a third round interview, and HR contacted me that afternoon saying I had positive feedback across the board and they would contact me the next day regarding next steps.

Honestly I wish they would talk with the hiring manager and then let me know the decision instead of checking in. It’s messing with my emotions.
