Is it wrong that I’m just not into PE/VC? It seems to be the most desirable exit for most people that I work with.

Currently an EM at McKinsey, joined as a lateral hire after 6yrs in consulting (strategy boutique) and a short stint at a lesser known PE firm. What prospects would I have pivoting back to PE?

6 years in public accounting, manager 2. Is a financial reporting manager at a $2billlion SEC company a good position to transition into? Your thoughts pls.

Can’t decide between reporting + technical roles vs corporate accounting roles. Coming out of audit and I like both aspects. Has anyone tried both sides and have any insights? Does one of these have higher salary potential? Does corporate accounting give you a higher chance of reaching a controller position since you’re actually in the GL, whereas technical + reporting will probably have you in a specialized group in larger companies?
