Looking to pivot into industry. I have 5 years of experience in Big 4 and left as a senior accountant. I’m currently doing SOX testing and really bored with the job. I have my CPA and I’m wondering what positions and salary I should be targeting for in LCOL. Pls let me know if you can refer (preferably in tech)

The main exit from Protiviti is into internal audit / SOX roles. Sucks, but that's what it is. Gonna have to grind hard if you want to do something else.

Thank you. I should’ve also added that I used to work on financial reporting at the Big 4. I’m mainly curious about senior accountant roles in different industries and the salary. Currently getting paid $90k.

I can refer if you’d like to work in advisory? We’re currently hiring for January start dates.
