I don’t know why people think industry folks have it easy. Worked in Finance four year and slogged my butt atleast 8 months a year. I switched because consulting gives more perks for the same amount of hard work. Help me understand please!

In general a mid-cap company will give you the best bang for your buck when looking for exit opps. A job is a job, you should be paid what you’re worth. Yes you can go a F500 or one of the FAANGS but they will underpay you for the name. Example blizzard pays under the market because it your “passion” to work there.

I can’t get into to specific about my company since it a unique role.

We as a community need to stick together to make the value of SLPs known. When I was just starting in the field for my CFY I was offered $31/hr for a job in an SNF (in 2018). At this time I was fresh out of college and did not know what pay to expect because no one talks about it. - I did not take the job due to it being a little over an hour from my home but later learned that was not a good rate. I currently still feel as if I am underpaid. Add your city, state, setting, pay, etc

The A1s and I are all associates, so I don't even have a chance to give them an official feedback (snapshot at pwc). How to address this issue to my manager and director?

Advice needed: looking to leave public accounting and tax for good. I have two offers between a financial analyst and an accountant role. Based on your experience, which of the two has the best/better exit opportunities (should I decide to pursue the finance realm or something else) and better work life balance? The bigger pay as an analyst is tempting, but the company benefits are meh.
