Looking to move out of PA to corporate/internal accounting as a newly promoted senior (~90k base). So far, recruiters have reached out with opportunities in Internal Audit, GL Accountant, Revenue specialist, or Mgmt Consulting firm. Comp appears comparable (~100k) except the consulting firm whose bonuses can reach upwards of 40%.

Seeking advice on which path sets me up for best comp and career adv. Thanks

Is the consulting firm Siegfried? If so, stay away.

likefunny

lmao Yes it is. Recruiter said they're good about WLB (~50 hrs). They have decent reviews on glassdoor, like 3.9 which is pretty high for a client-servicing firm. I was considering it for the high bonus opp but you seem to be suggesting it ain't worth

Siegfried isn’t terrible, but I would recommend steering away to more reputable firms.

The clients you work on are sometimes clients that no one else wants to service, and for good reason. I mean it can happen anywhere, but a bit more frequent at Siegfried.
