Looking for guidance... I am a 2nd year staff about to be senior with 2 busy seasons behind me. I have been assigned nothing but first year clients since I entered public, and have had pretty bad managers both busy seasons. I've specialized in derivatives accounting for the last year, and I am thinking about my exit to industry. Anyone have any suggestions what sort of roles I should look at, or if I should stick it out a full year as a senior?

Try to get 1 full year as a senior. I've noted more than a few jobs that have required this. Beyond that, I think it makes a lot of sense. Showing them that not only can you survive as an associate and make it to senior, but you can also be a lead on audits in busy season.

UPDATE (RE: SoCal Assistant Controller Interview)

So after two weeks of waiting (and giving up on the idea of getting the job really), the recruiter got back to me.

They said due to month-end and quarter-end close they were busy and couldn’t get back to me as quickly for a “good update”.

The recruiter said the CFO enjoyed our call, she, the CFO, will call me next week directly to “discuss some final things”.

Not sure if Im hired or not, but are there any questions about the job, comp (cont.)
